Another possibility is to use an Access data base - you can store and
process very large amounts of data, you can use Access or VB to do
whatever you want with the data (for example, select one day from a file
with 300 days of tick data), and the tie-in with other software is good. 

A long time ago, I processed more than 65k records in Dbase, with 64k of 
memory on an 8086 :-) - data bases can be quite useful.
