Altogether, WHY? It is not likely that the human "looking" at a list box will have any desire (or ability) to scroll through 35K entries in a list box. It would even be difficult to select a reasonable "Range" from 35K items in a list. For PROGRAMATIC access or manipulation, there are better mechanisims/tools to stotr the information. I would suggest that you 're-think' the problem -and the soloution.
