Do you know the only really stupid thing. I've only just relaised i can put
an array in there. i've beeing using a similar bit of code to open them all
but never thought of just using an artray while opening them like that. I now
feal so stupid it's almost sickening. Still if only i could now find a way
past the hard coded date format in text strings (csv files) for dates in
excel 2003 i'd be happy.

Thanks very much Nick .. now to go play WoW as it's finaly arrived here at
home.
