Eric,
   In your situation, did you have any parameters specifically set so
that the Swap file would not be copied?...Or is this automatic.

I have seen some comments relating to setting the " Let ME manage the
swap file " before on this discussion.

Might add this is a very interesting subject!!!.

Thanks.......John
