>Looks OK. Nothing pops out as being incorrect. A couple of comments, however, if you don't mind. My strategy always would use the FREEFILE() function to retrieve the available handle. In this instance, however, it shouldn't make a difference. I'm the cautious type. I'd also use the WHILE NOT EOF(1)...WEND pre-test iteration structure, rather than the DO...LOOP UNTIL post-test, in case the file was empty. Probably not a concern here, however. As I said, this is probably (in this case) simply differences in style.:-)

Hi, George.

Not my style, neither. I assembled the code using chunks of the QB help.

But don't tell this to Ronald... ;-)

I think I'll be out soon, so... Happy new milennium!!!
