This sounds like a job for VIO, which is in effect a memory-only file. As discussed recently, VIO is appropriate only for small temporary files since it uses the paging subsystem. However, if your solution will end up in a commercial product, be aware that some customers (like us) did away with VIO a long time ago. I can't imagine reviving it for the sake of any ISV.

I am trying to eliminate the usage of a real file. The application is time sensitive and handles sensitive data. All comments and suggestions are appreciated.
