No. Binary files with a fixed record length and layout. Thank you
I'm a bit confused as to what file type/format your talking about. Can you give us more detail? What your describing sounds like a properity file format to me with a header and datasection in binary format._ Can you convert the current format to CSV and use it or are you using indexs and relates? I had a similar situation and ended up writing a custom TDataset component and that will take a bit of time. I h Cheers, Charlie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
