Hi Viv
Thanks. Hmmm, seems bit of a faff to me. This is (hopefully) a definitive style of input that one of our customers sends, that has to be converted to a VFP table. I don't know what the "raised border" delimiter is in an HTML file. Guess I'll just have to save file as Excel then import that - easier :-)

>IAC, i it's a spreadsheet-like format then it's probably a HTML table. Maybe you could parse out the cell content using STREXTRACT() etc.
