good tip, thanks. that takes patience and constant attention to know when it finishes indexing one batch and another can be loaded and i'm impatient and easily distracted!

i have about 2500 to load and i will take the advice and split them into 250 unit chunks. i could handle 10 batches. and at least any problems would be compartmentalized.

thanks! /guy
