Because record numbers are generated sequentially, you need only know the highest number in your DB and then increment from there. You'll want to look for a decent sized number of invalid numbers to allow for record deletion, and the code should detect if no new numbers are detected in X days -- if someone loads a dataset and immediately deletes it, it could create a hole consisting of thousands of numbers. Identifying changes in existing records without Create Lists is more problematic -- the only method I can think of is to crawl them. The good news is that the last updated field is one of the ones you'll pick up in the XML so you don't need to do a field by field comparison or overwrite your current data. kyle
