IF one decides a certain process HAS to run at night, chances are that by specifically locking files the whole operation is markedly faster and tricks as removing and later recreating tags are easier to swallow.

My next try (once this finishes) would be by using tables opened in exclusive mode. I made changes regarding GUID and I'm currently running the process on 5K + file.
Update. Checked the process and it gave an error (misspelled one of the field names). Ok, new try <g>
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
