Hi,

>Thanks. Hmmm, seems bit of a faff to me.
Not neccessarily.

>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.

Should just be an attribute.

So this is something you need to do with a specific HTML page on a regular basis?
If you can completely automate the process and end up with the VFP structure that you want then I guess using Excel is fine (assuming you know Excel is available). OTOH it's probably possible to build a parser to do the job in half an hour or so (but, of course, I haven't seen the HTML so....)

Best,
Viv
