What about for f.Count downto 1 instead of for i = 1 to f.Count?


No, because of some recent changes in Mac OS 10.5 (or coming changes in 10.6?) this shouldn't be done,

That's very odd! What change can prevent deleting in an order rather than another order?


I really don't know. I don't recall there was any explanation what changes were made and why these changes would slow down the downto- iteration. But Charles just pointed out that counting down would be slow, too.

Charles, can you provide us with some background, why a downto-loop is slower than a to-loop in this case?

Christian
