Comma Separated Variable It's basically a simple text file that has commas between the fields, and (usually) has quotes around the text entries (so that commas are remembered) To see one, save a spreadsheet from Excel or a database from Access into CSV and open the result in Studio or another editor (just don't open it in Excel or Access as it'll interpret it) BTW, it's a lot quicker to go to something like AskJeeves and type in CSV into the box - it'll give you links to most things Philip Arnold ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 "Websites for the real world" ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
