Hi,
Thank you to all who replies to my previous post. It seems I had
misunderstood the problem.

(Going back to my BMX bike example)
We have the following data:

ProdID Desc Price
2374 BMX Bicycle £99.99

Now this bike comes in various colours (Red Green and Blue), so what I
want to be able to do, is slect the entire row, and run a macro. Which
would prompt the user to specify what colours the product was available
in. So for this example, the user wouldd type "R,G,B".
Which would then replace to current line, with the following:

ProdID Desc Price
2374/R BMX Bicycle £99.99
2374/G BMX Bicycle £99.99
2374/B BMX Bicycle £99.99

Does anyone know how I would acomplish this?

Kind Regards

Thanks Bob, that worked great.
As so often happens, my manager has now decided he would like to do it
another way. (Going Back to my BMX example)

Colour Codes ProdID Desc Price
2374 BMX Bicycle £99.99

A new row has been inserted, where the user will type the various colour
codes into. So for example:

Colour Codes ProdID Desc Price
W,R,B 2374 BMX Bicycle £99.99

The user would then select this row, and run a macro, and would have:
Colour Codes ProdID Desc Price
W,R,B 2374/W BMX Bicycle £99.99
W,R,B 2374/R BMX Bicycle £99.99
W,R,B 2374/B BMX Bicycle £99.99

I would imagine the pincipal is very similar to what you earlier
presented me with. But to be totally honest, I am no windows programmer,
Im a UNIX admin, and its been over 10 years since I even made a ripple
in the water with any windows programming. So any advise or pointers you
could give me would great.

Thanks
Mick
