In my examples your program took less than half of a second, however, what if the original file has millions of records? If so, I guess, final scan of Cells cursor may need a thermometer... Basically, I think, this portion of code could be taken from VFPXTab program (this program already have a thermometer). By default it would be turned off, but there would be a logical flag, which allows to add it, if needed.
