Hi Roy...

Just a follow-up.

When we developed the macro we also set it up on a 123 spreadsheet.
After spending a week trying to sort the Qpro version, I tried the 123
spreadsheet on an old 123W version running on both a 98SE and a XP but
it failed. I just realized that failure was the result of the same
string problem I had discussed with Uli. With the string problem
corrected, both the setup and data processing aspects of the macro run
flawlessly. Problem solved. I don't anticipate any future requirements.
It's health care related and its standalone siblings are preferable.

Thanks again...

Bob Becker
