Thanks Jason, dat really improve the performance.

you see, in my code below I have the if not (gdfixed in astate)
then ... I was force to do that to prevent my column title from
being affected. But I saw no such code in your contact sample found
in the IBO.

I read some of your post, saying youll be releasing the next version
of IBO, do you have any idea when? and will it be a major release or
just fixes to some bugs?

Thanks a lot
