Rule of thumb I use with my UDFs is to make them as simple as possible (single purpose functions). If your UDFs are rather simple (i.e. add these two numbers and return the sum, convert decimal to date), there shouldn't be much overhead. If each function runs another SQL statement in turn and the FROM file has lots of records, I can see lots of 'slamming' going on. Test in on a large file. Elvis
