Regardless of what is in the records now we're going to strip them down to the bare essentials for our purposes which is: CustomerID, Name, Company, Address, Phone, FAX, E-mail - just the basic contact info.A sample I created used a maximum of about 300 characters (including delimiters) per record. Am I doing the math correct that 100,000 300-character records would require 30 MBytes of RAM? If so then doing a Lookup through 2 million records would not be possible... forgive me if I'm overlooking the obvious. -marty Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
