Any idea at when it begins to bog down?By linear I mean it never 'bogs down' suddenly at some point. It's just what you'd expect -- the more records and more complex the search is, the slower it gets.[Lookup], for instance is an extremely fast special-case search: it is case-sensitive and looks for exact match only. So it can look thru 10,000 records in about 1/100 of a second.You may get up to a few seconds on complex searches thru 100,000 records with lots of text.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
