1. Make a database available. It'll make your life much easier. 2. As an alternative, pad your records out so they're all the same length (for instance, 100 characters). Then you can fseek() to $recordNum * 100 and write over records in place without having to rewrite the entire file. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
