Chuck, Is the file indexed? I have noticed an improvement in copying speed on an indexed file by not having any indexes created on the target file. I create the index after the copy. It is just a thought.

Does anyone know what kind of a perfomance hit you take for using dynamic
files? .. I had thought that it was pretty minimal, since splitting
shouldn't occur too much, and merging almost never happens ..

Anyway, I was archiving data off of a dynamic file today and noticed that a
COPY command was taking a really long time .. I re-wrote the copy in BASIC
so I could put in display counters and got the same results .. I did some
testing and found that doing the same process (READ/COPY/DELETE) using a
STATIC file is faster by a factor of about 10 ..

Any ideas?
