I'd agree with Dan - let the database do the heavy lifting here of pulling subsets of your data. That's one of the best rules to learn in this 'programming thing' :) If you do it now - you'll be better prepared in the future when someone asks you to add an addition 50,000 towns! And you can leverage that data elsewhere in your application if you need to. Jim
