Yes, like i said i'm new to programming and these groups also so i
posted my question to several groups. One other thread gave me some
ideals but that was bring the data into a sheet and doing the work
there. I like your aproach better in that it gathers the information
from the text file and simply writes it to a sheet. Must better
approach i think.

Thanks again for all your help and i'll try your suggestion from above
tomorrow when i get back to work.

Thanks again.
