In the testing I've done, it appears the value i seek is always preceeded by
the following, if that will help find it in the file.

_p____

that's Underscore, lowercase p, and four more underscores......

John Walkenbach has an article on his site that describes how to use WordPad

My question is, how to use VBA to interrogate a .xls file and extract
this information?

TIA
