Write one Phantom routine that selects these files, one by one and loops through every record just reading it then moving on. This will "smoothly" keep the records in memory even if your actual user-accessing of them is chunky. And yes you can create your own internal hashtable. Just DIM an array to the modulo you want and then apply the standard routine to determine which cell your id goes to and put it there or get it from there.
