That level of data is where you need to use an external database, then use an XRecord or XDATA to point to a record, provide SQL statements, or other basic information for retrieving the data.  Also sounds like its time to re-evaluate the work process of how which data, gets from where, to where, and how.  This feels very much like a brute-force implementation.   :|

dgorsman - interesting that you that, I have been considering dbconnect, but it would add another layer of complexity for my users who would then have to maintain an sql database, or microsoft excel, externally.  On the question of which data gets where and how, I'm about to post another question about that.

irneb - that looks very cool.  Deserves to become a standard library function no doubt..!
