No problem with that - you have to maintain the code <g>. But if there is a real risk that you need to parse more than 60000 entries (15000 rows if you have 4 cols!) I'ld move another way and always write out each row directly into the cursor/table. Especially if you have multiple users "going the file route" needs more errorhandling, for instance against somone having added just such a file with write protection an so on, which you really don't need is as long as don't use a file<bg>. By actively deciding to involve other files you will have to add some/more defensive code which is not needed as the problem could be solved by memory/array alone.
