I assume you mean using VB on the server, right? Sure, no problem, very
easy. Just have it write out an array where the ID number is the index.
A 20000 element array might be taxing for a client, but you can easily
test this by finding a slow/old machine and checking how much data you can
plow into it before it becomes unbearable.
