I'm with you - even though I didn't mention it in my first reply. More often
than not, there's a better way of doing it than the one you've set out on. I
wouldn't ever try to retrieve info on 6,000+ customers/items at one try.
There's probably a very good way of breaking this information into more
manageable chunks.
