Had a sick kid at home which kept me very busy and away from the computer! You think putting the spelling of the state in another table with some kind of a reference code (such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc etc ) would be faster then searching based on some spelling of the name? I am using the state name in the URL that I'm referencing... So something like: www.example.com/new-york/212/314 would bring up the entire 10,000 records for 212-314-**** Trying to avoid the normal index.php?vars=blah&you=Blah type stuff... Indexes... I'm still learning about those... I created a index based on the areacode, and exchange fields... But more reading is needed to figure out just how to use it properly :) Thanks Ash!
