Hi all. 

I know the Intersect command removes keys in array-1  that don't exist in 
array-2. What I need however is a command that removes keys in array-1 that DO 
exist in array-2, so that array-1 contains all the keys I need to add. Why you 
ask? Why not just use the Union command? Because I need to find all the records 
in table-a that need to be added to table b. And since I am paging through 
table a a limited number of records at a time, (to prevent Rev memory overflow 
for large tables) I cannot simply use an SQL query join, and as I said in a 
prior post the tables are in disconnected databases. 

So what I am doing is getting 100 records from table-a as a string, massaging 
it a bit to form a comma delimited list, then using the SQL IN operator to get 
what records there are in table-b that are already in table-a. At that point I 
need to eliminate the table-b keys from the table-a keys, and what I will have 
left are the keys that need to be inserted into table-b. Simple. See? ;-) 

So is there any way to do this without a repeat loop? I can always do a repeat 
loop, but they weary me. <sigh> ;-)

Bob
