Implementation of a database

[SimPLsol at aol.com]

Ian,
We have card-style databases with over 70,000 records. These are primarily 
archives - which don't need to be accessed frequently.
At about 5,000 records you'll notice a speed hit, particularly when opening 
and closing the larger stacks.
There are advantages to each method but, for your use, either will work fine. 
I'd suggest continuing with the format with which you are familiar and change 
later if you need to do so.
