Thanks for reading this.
I have been programming for a little while and have written a program that uses a random access database. The problem I am know having is that it is becoming slow to search any of the fields, as the number of records increases.

This is obviously not the right database to be using so what are the alternatives?

I need to be able to search any of the fields "FAST" (running on an average speed computer)and would like to be able to have as many as 30,000+ records.

What should I be looking for, or am I expecting to much?

Any help and code would be most welcome.


Many Thanks
