I had not actually tried brackets, but I have now and no records
were returned. I think it would be the same as this which I had
tried:
lcListString = '"ABC","DEF","GHI"'

Also, I was wrong about getting correct results from the prompt
when list string variable is not supplied. Only hits from the
first string in a hand entered list are returned. I guess I'm
going to have to resort to go ole macro substitution.

By the way, I really enjoyed your sesson this year on
frameworks. I'm building my own now.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Stan
