Others have stated that it does take a long time to build up a long list like this. In addition to the other ideas, I would like to add the idea of using a "data cast member". Details can be found at:
http://www.director-online.com/accessArticle2.cfm?id=442 But the basic idea is that rather than build up your list on the fly, build the list in a Lingo handler, then call the handler to return the list. I'm sure it would be much faster and perhaps easier to read and change than what you are currently doing. Irv .
