The reason for scripting this is that, the client-computer has no MS Office.

I followed that link Howard, and I can only say, OH... My... God!

I have changed the script and now the time output looks like this \:\)

[1] : 07:35:25
[2] : 07:35:33
[3] : 07:35:33
[4] : 07:35:36

From 12 Mins. to 11 Sec.

Now that is a very good way to "speeding up an import..."

Thank you very much!
