Doing it line by line way avoids this issue even if you have a 10GB file. Thanks Aziz, That is what I was thinking since at the moment it is how you describe. Reading everything from the sheet first and then inserting. My task is now how to iterate each individually, however I have a dependent. PHPExcel. Not sure how to utilize this and read only one line at a time. I appreciate the corroboration. Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com
