This may be an issue with either your client program, or the SMB implementation in Win2k3, which can be solved by getting the ball rolling with SMB and/or possibly MS. Either way, that is quite a few files to have to parse through, and although it may seem somewhat ludicrous, adding an additional script to presort out your minute reports would greatly reduce the amount of open-file records you need, and while that may not be a permanent solution it can serve as a better base for sorting your data. You could just create proper directories on the Win2k3 server, like %BASE_DIR%\Year\Day\Hour, if you get a large volume of files, or just strictly put them in a daily directory since it sounds like your volume is manageable. Plus, it's probably easier for humans to manage as opposed to 2000+ flat files in the same directory ;). Any SQL would handle this issue nicely as well since one of databases' best selling points is this type of application. -Garrett
