Use random files rather than arrays.
Simply put, store the information for the code at the record number
corresponding to the area code e.g, for a 0174 area code, store that
information at record number 174 (Always assuming that there is no 174
or 00174 area code (which would screw up things a bit.) I've used
LOTS of RRN files in my program so mail me privately if you need help.
24 hour turn-round as I only go online once a day (usually).
Cheers
