dear Ron Coderre, David Biddulph
Thanks for the reply.

but .. I need to open the notepad and do the split by writng an
macro..

PLS REPLY since the problem is , my manager is opening the files in
excel and on a click of a button , the data should be splitted.

DATE FINAL DATE NAME AMT1 AMT2 VALUE

3/31/2003 6/02/2003 THOMAS 4.950 15.00 693.00
3/31/2003 6/02/2003 HARI 7.220 15.00 693.00
3/31/2003 6/02/2003 THOMAS 4.950 15.00 693.00

and so on...

the record in column A. should be spliteed if it is date and othewise
the data shoulld not be splittted.
