Interesting. The fields above (your updated order) are of types int,
datetime, varchar(64), varchar(100), text, text

So, I've got two text fields. If that's really what's going on (I'll
check) this could be interesting. 

Or, since I'm leaving the company next Tuesday and they're closing by
end of year, maybe I'll forget GetRows and just keep the recordset open
for the ten seconds it takes to MoveNext through it. Ultra low usage on
these tools on a LAN, so I'm just barely interested in optimization.

Thanks
