Hi Leroy,

I notice that you're doing a replace for every field in the table, but doing them in separate replace statements. I don't know how many fields are in your table but let's assume you have 10, if you've got to write 120,000 records then doing a separate replace for each field will cause 1,200,000 writes to the database. Why don't you wait until you've processed all the fields in a record before writing to the table. Instead of doing an APPEND BLANK and then a separate replace on each field you could simply do an INSERT INTO mytargettable FROM MEMVAR after processing each record, that way you'd only write to your target table once for each record in your source table.

Hope this helps,
Gavin...
