There's no need to delete records one-at-a-time inside a FoundItems loop, since the search criteria in the FoundItems loop is the same search criteria you could use for the delete tag itself. Wherever possible, get rid of the outer [Search] and [FoundItems] entirely, and use a single [Delete] to erase records all at once. It's faster, and does not run into this every-other-record thing. Grant, right, and so far (from the posted code) there is no indication that Dan has used [index] within a founditems loop to delete anything. This is why I suggested doing a global find for a text match within a file... That type of "find" has a specific name which escapes me right now. It appears to me that there is other code that is causing his problem. Donovan -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
