    Post your overall thoughts

    FOR loops are actually more efficient for a loop in which you know the number of records etc that you want to process as there is no need to increment for the next bit to be processed. You can use FOR/NEXT loops in flowcharts as the just look like any other pre test loop (i'm pretty sure...
