The 'browse' stage does keep the viewed portion of the data in memory to allow you to page back again. Not really a concern with 5000 records of 13 bytes though. But as I read his note, the discussion about XEDIT was not to view the records but because he wanted to use that to shorten the records. While using XEDIT for that is not safe with non-text data (since it will play games with trailing blanks) I fail to see why one could not edit a file of 700 KB in even a 10 MB virtual machine. Rob
