Yes, sorry for the lack of other factors too - those were just the two 
most needed.


I already have the data at hand in my own object structure so that is no 
problem. By fast i mean less than one second, even on a modern PC. The 
users of our program often have old or very old hardware in which case 
my/your 9 seconds turns to 30 or more seconds.

In reallity all i need is a read-only grid that can display the data in 
string format and range selection so that i can copy/paste the data to 
the clipboard.

 From your reply it seems i am going with TDrawGrid.

Thank you for the help!

Regards,
Torsten.
