Sounds like another one of those wonderful 'learning curve !' 🙂 Yes, I would be extremely grateful for some more information !! The application is actually a corporate phone book. General Indexing is accomplished via indexes along the lines of : Type Record IndexText as String * 3:' First 3 letters of surname Offset As Integer :' Offset in file (A.Txt -> Z.Txt) End Type and then jumping to the offset to start sequential reading ! Many Thanks, /\/\artin. Uk. There is 1 Reply.
