>I saved these for the end. On my PC (P-150 64 MB) the VB 5 code took 17.18 seconds.

I agree that using VFP6 would be faster than VFP5, but I was actually more interested in your time for VB. The code ran 15 seconds faster on my machine. Do you think that the difference in MHZ (400 to 150) would make that much difference?
