You are accurate in your note. Legacy does not currently sort by date, so your move to Excel was the way to go. I have done it in the past, but I don't understand part of what you wrote. How I do it is, Go to Search, using search list, create the various columns (as you seem to have done), go to print, for testing purposes, chose to print to Screen/Printer, and check Preview. When it looks correct, THEN order the CVS choice and save it to a file name. I am not sure which part you missed, but you might make sure you do the parsing? on the first data line, instead of the first line. I did this wrong in the past, but that was years ago. If you need more help, send to me private if you wish. Rich in LA CA --- Angela Gabbard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
