What database? This is incredibly slow for 55k records (I'm assuming that
the number of records returned by the query is relatively small).

Does the query take a similar amount of time if you execute it in a
different query tool?

the
way, this code is tunning in Excel using ADO...
By the way, there are a total 0f 55000 records to loop through. Anyway I
can
make this faster. It takes 5-6 minutes to create a distinct recordset
