Python objects very easily with Python standard functionality, referred to in Python terms as "pickling". See the "pickle" module for more information: http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html Thank you Walter for your help and speedy reply. Using pickling I have somehow managed to save two separate lists, but the dictionary is giving me much more of a struggle. I will reference the link you were gracious enough to provide me. Hopefully a few pots of coffee and my last few remaining brain cells will get me through it. Thanks again... PS the last few times i had attempted reading the docs on the python site, well, I might as well have been reading a book in ancient Sanskrit. But if at first you don't succeed,try, try, try, again. Have a great day.
