Dennis:

David has a good idea; I use something similar to read and present/edit the contents of text files using StrtoFile() and FiletoStr() and a regular EditBox. I know you have huge volume but how long a history do you need to keep? Can you create some sort of ongoing Purge process?

HTH,

-Irv.
