Richmond,

Just so you know what is going on. Each time a change in made to a field, a lot of management code is executed to properly render the field in case it is needed to be visible. So when a field is modified within a loop, that field management code is executed over and over. When the data is moved into a variable then manipulated the field management code is only executed when the results are put back into the field.

In almost all cases it is much faster to copy a field into a variable, manipulate the data, then put it back in the field when you want to make it visible.

Regards,
   Mike

If you did the same with the output it'd get even faster.
