Pete,

To accelerate your process: you must works with only *ONE* database, and
read a complete record like this:

--
    set myRecord to records (17)
--

Or (very faster):
--
    (*
    read 50 records and "put" them in a list
    *)
    set myList to records 1 thru 50 as list
    set MyRec to (item 2 of myList &tab & �
������ item 3 of myList &tab & �
������ item 4 of myList &tab & �
������ item 5 of myList & " " & �
������ item 6 of myList &tab & �
������ item 7 of myList &tab & �
������ item 8 of myList &tab & �
������ item 9 of myList )
--

Read only every cell of a record of a db is *very* slower than read a
complete record at once.
