The database is considerably more complex than Ver 2 with more fields and locations to search. I am not sure what I can do to help speed this up - but will make a note to at least look through the code and see if I can improve it. The time tests are interesting numbers - showing a full 4 x as slow in Ver 3. Thanks, Ira ---------------------------------------------------------- Ira J.
