texte = You are already listing the .inc file from a field in a db... why not mark the fields T/F for existance in the database when you create the .inc files... (and change value when deleteing the files) that way your search will only be for already existing fields and you will not have file not found errors. Use the database and not the [fileinfo..] as Fileinfo adds disk overheads for looking up the files on disk and since you have many files this might be noticeable. -- Regards, Marko On Thursday, 10 November 2005 4:31 AM, Patrick McCormick wrote: I was worried about the overhead of using functions.
