After about 7 years of using Active4D, I didn't know that until today! I knew about the clearing at the end of the method, but didn't realize until a couple hours ago that assigning a new collection to the same variable creates a new handle and the old one is still there. Remember, I've never programed in 4D so handles are not a subject I knew a lot about. Guess that is why my attempts to do these utility scripts never worked that well. Don't remember seeing that in the manual, but then I've missed other things over the years. I guess a follow_up question is: If I put the guts of the loop in a method, does the method clear the local collection when it ends? I tried deep clearing my collections and it still bogged down after about 500 records.
