I think it is easier to change the Firebird configuration of TempCacheLimit as suggested earlier in this thread than to set up a ramdisk. It is probably also better for performance, but I haven't checked that. A ramdisk might be a better choice for Classic though, as in Classic, the TempCacheLimit is per connection. Mark
