texte = I achieve the same result whether I use listfiles in the loop or use a temp.db, the problem is with the [search], it does not seem able to cope with the [Flushdatabase], so given a list1 2 3 4and its pointer being at 1 in the beginning, after flushdatabase it moves its pointer on one but the file looks like this now2 3 4instead of pointing at 2, it points at 3, the second value and thats why it keeps skipping values, any ideas how I would combat this? Thanks again. --- dale
