Yes, but the end-result is still slower(which is what matters here, IMO)... I find VFP(or maybe it's the OS) caches my source files for my own search tool-- the first search after a reboot it slowish(still <30 seconds), and subsequent searches are faster(and yes, it does see new changes in files). -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
