I kinda figured this would be the case. As there could potentially be a huge number of rows I was worried about doing an insert. I ended up writing a temp file, loading it and then deleting it. It's quite fast and seems to work just fine. Cheers and thanks again for the suggestions kim PS. Does everyone else sometimes get multiple copies of posts?
