Although it's true I don't know that I'm getting "in memory" DBF reads, the bulk of the time in the code I just shared is in the "writing to XLS" inner loop. Looking to a different solution for writing, perhaps a DLL available for $ (one time). Been reading more about VFP, Silverlight and HTML5. Python seems in a good position. All caught up on IronPython now too. Kirby -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
