Hi Simon,
Thanks for the info. I understand about the command line feature tool 
and CSV/TSV file import.

Recordsets are common db programming objects, and so I'm a bit awe 
struck that you wouldn't know what I mean by the term being as you seem 
to be very knowledgeable in SQLite. I'm assuming (rightly or wrongly) 
then that you're familiar with db terminology.

If I used ADO to grab the data from a delimited file into a recordset, 
could I then 'dump' that data into a table? My reason for asking is 
that I don't use commas nor tabs to delimit data. Thus, if I were to 
convert my apps from storing data in text files to using a SQLite 
database, I would use ADO to load the data into a recordset. (I'm 
considering going with SQLite as apposed to using MDBs)

Fact is, using text files has its limitations. The file I mentioned in 
my reply to Olaf was an exceptionally large one for the data my apps 
store. Most files are well under 5,000 records and so I commonly hold 
several files in as many arrays at runtime. (Each file would typically 
be less than 200KB) I think storing the data in a database would be a 
better idea for larger amounts of data.
