How much data???<br>
Simplest way<br>

Small amounts, Text file<br>

DougP is on the mark. If you need to transfer more than 32kb of data in one operation, a connected table is the easy and fast way. If not, a Type...End Type declaration followed by a Dim of the data and a subsequent Get or Put of the array seems to handle the &quot;small amounts&quot; designation. Depending on your system, the last solution can handle several terabytes of data in a matter of seconds.<br>
But it won't correctly display a read from a Jet database. The programmer is expected to read and write using a fixed Type...End Type structure (a &quot;flat file&quot.<br>
Ahhh, it is incredibly fast, but never expect another app to understand the structure! (Without help.)<br>
