This was the missing link! ,-----=[ From the TB Help "Template Macros" topic header ] A special note about using macro parameters: Macro parameters can be enclosed either in double quotes or apostrophes. To use a double quote or apostrophe within a macro parameter when the enclosing quote character is the same, use a pair of the required character instead of a single one. E.g.: in %MACRO='my "double quoted" text' the macro parameter is my "double quoted" text ; it is also possible to use this construct instead: %MACRO="my ""double quoted"" text" - note the doubled double quotes inside the macro parameter. `---------------- - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
