My software keeps the local data file open as long as the connection is open, so the connection must be closed before the file can be moved or deleted. > Closing a file, moving it, and then creating a new file > should be able to be done extremely fast ... I know, but these cannot be done while the connection is open, thus the need to close it. And since a new connection will need to be opened almost immediately anyways, the natural way for me to close it is to open a new one. > JSON is a much better format to use. Not for me it isn't. My software has built-in XML parsing capabilities but it doesn't know how to deal with JSON data so XML is clearly the best way for me to go. Owkaye
