Yeah, you're much better off pulling a huge log like that into Access rather than Excel. ;) -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry

Me, I'd tend to view that as a database problem, not a spreadsheet problem. I generally see spreadsheets as a math/formulas solution. But (ab)using spreadsheets instead of databases is a tradition at least as old as the spreadsheet, so I should have seen that coming. > That's kinda like saying "640 KB is enough for anybody" ... My reaction was specifically to a spreadsheet that big, not the plain data size. There's lots of other cases where I would find that much memory entirely justified. Databases, for example. ;-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
