Thanks to both of you. I'll try both of your suggestions and see how much faster I can make my script.

One more question - in your experience, do scripts seem to get bogged down with large tables? For example, my table script was running on my 120 page table for around 12 hours and still wasn't finished. But, when I cut the table down to 25 pages, the script completed in under an hour.

I thought the change in the time it would take to run would be proportional, but it doesn't seem to be. I don't think the loops get stuck running indefinitely, but I could be wrong.

Thanks again!
