The connection upstream isn't so fast, either, compared to having a Smart Host on your LAN that's optimized for sending only. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. All I can suggest if it's all in the DB processing is that you try a different database format. 20,000 text records, speaking only in a general sense, shouldn't cause a well-written client and database to conk out on the kind of box you've got, but then again Access does s**k.
