Thanks for the help. I have FME 2005 so I can't use option 3. The option cited is not there - I checked. Option 3 does sound the best though...
Option 2 the batch deploy is greyed out. I'd give it a try on a few feature classes to test it if I can ungrey the batch deploy. So that's possible if you want to tell me how to ungrey it. Option 1 I'm not sure of the implications of reading ALL the data at once. I rather expect to start this thing and let it run over night. Other than that, 1 seems on the face of it to have no roadblocks. Again I just what to loop thru each features class clip it and throw it into something like personal geodatabase. If all else fails clipping to a rectangle slightly larger than the clip area is OK - I can fine tune it to a required complex polygon once I have a manageable rectangle locally.

No, you must mean each featue class (table) has at least one unique and different field name of it's own - I'm not sure of that so I would try: > If you don't have such an attribute, then open > the properties of one of the source feature classes, click the > format attributes tab and put a tick-mark next to fme_basename - > then apply to all to expose it on all feature classes.

I want exactly the same thing I put in but clipped - same feature classes just clipped. How'd I do this? Grateful for the help. Thanks ...snip...
