I'm not sure what you're using, but nothing in this sample is SAX. It sounds like there's some higher level API sitting on top of SAX doing something ill-advised. Were you to rewrite this app to use real SAX, you could first use a single pass to grab all the values you need; and then fill the cells. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
