Thanks for the help on the in operator, John. In answer to your question I did a little programming a long time ago in sequential languages such as dBase, FoxBase, Clipper, and a little C. Then Windows came along, my job changed, and I didn't really keep up in the event driven environment. I have done a little in Visual Basic for Applications but not even that recently. I am in graduate school now for GIS basically and took a course a couple of semesters ago that involved a little Python and it got me interested. I am still basically new to Python.
Thanks again,
Steve
