>The idea is good but for two million records, I wouldn't use it.

I understand your concern, that is also mine, but I wonder if it would work nonetheless. Checking the XP Resource kit, if you disable the short name generation, it seems that having 2 or 4 million files in a folder should not be a problem, the recommendation is to have the short-file name generation disabled if you have more than 300.000 files in a folder:

Ah, if someone had the time to test (And, more important, the care not to open explorer in that folder!!) <g>
