JLB - Excellent idea and I will set up my method. After a number of trial and

and it seems pretty straightforward to me.
Initially I didn't think so, but I understand it better now. e.g., a census -

I am intrigued by using the MRIN as the filing mode and using 2-inch 3-ring

As Gene Y. suggested - you can make a copy of the file as he indicated. Then
