if I am correct... list boxes should/do behave as arrays. So... you should - no I have not done the testing - that inserting (add to location {<Size of array}) into an array would be slower then appending (adding to the end).
EVEN IF, the array's memory did not have to be reallocated (it does), if you insert into location 10 of a 100 element array, 90 elements have to be "shifted" to their current location +1 (10 -> 11, 11-> 12 etc). This will/does/should add overhead. If you are inserting - especially blank/empty columns - rather then appending the columns to your list boxes I would expect this to be slower. In a previous email I mentioned that I do dynamic list boxes every where I use them. I always (generic code) append the new column(s).

I would expect this to be the case. --------------- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
