CF-Pros: I'd like to publicly acknowledge, and thank, Jim Curran and Ben Johnson for their assistance on this problem.
Jim, you nailed it -- I'd reversed the codes #chr(10)##chr(13)# instead of #chr(13)##chr(10)# ! I feel like such a dope: I examined two other programs that worked for previous projects and never saw that in this particular program I had reversed the codes. Talk about not seeing the "forest for the trees" ! Again, thank you, your assistance was much appreciated. Have a great day. -Gerry Gerard T.
