My only concern in that code would be with GO BOTTOM, APPEND BLANK, REPLACE.

All of this can be replaced with one INSERT COMMAND which may be slightly faster. Also you may use AutoInc field for MenuID.

Otherwise the code looks pretty standard.

>>depends on where the slowness comes from... When it's your code, we might be able to help if you show it to us. If the problem is the mere number of directories, there's little you can do except for using cached or indexed information.
