You're welcome. One thought popped into my mind. Since the site seems to be from the Wall Street Journal, you may want to look into whether they have an api for searching and retrieving articles. If they do, this would be simpler and probably safer than parsing web pages. From time to time, websites change their layout, which would probably break your program. However APIs are more stable good luck to you -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
