Nicolas,
I don't think we're quite on the same "page" with respect to creating the static master. First of all I was under the impression you had one RTP file and one validation file. Having 20 RTP files does increase the size but it would NOT have any impact on the size of the validation file. All 20 RTP files AND the validation file would be inserted into a separate master file, so that file would have 120,000 task lines plus however many task lines are in the validation file. That would be a very large file but nothing that Project could not handle.
However, given that new information, if I were trying to do what you want to do I would definitely go with a VBA approach. Would you be willing to send your files to me (one RTP and the validation file)? Then we could work one-on-one. You can contact me at the address below. I will ask some questions.
