Brenda,

Exactly. I use it all the time. BeyondCompare also has an excellent viewer addon for CSV files that allows to compare tables and columns. Just make sure that you sort the data on all fields, otherwise BeyondCompare gets confused even if you specify a key field.

>Thanks for the info but I remembered that I could COPY TO () DELIMITED and then used some good shareware software called File Beyond Compare that compares the contents of two files and highlights the differences. Very good software.
