Damon, thanks, I hadn't thought about that. Lemme' verify something though - you did mean to close the string
w/another quote, right? I'm gonna' wait just a bit before I make those changes, as I have about 23 separate modules to handle this multi-faceted but single data-entry task. However, your suggestion makes me think that I could "stick" the file names in a database, if that wouldn't prove to slow, and look 'em up at the beginning, so that I just hit the DB 1x and re-use the var's as I go - say, that might be a smart way to extend your suggestion. Additionally, I'd entertain anyone's ideas, reading tips, experiences on "integrating" these separate source-modules into a single APP-Express program.
