RS, David is right. There is no point wasting time tuning a 10 second query providing it is not part of a loop or the slow point in an unsatisfactory performing screen. Full tables scan are not bad, in and of themselves. It is the reason that the full scan is being done that is most important. In this case there is not other way to retrive the data without making some data/application changes.
