Thanks for your input.  I wrote this 4 1/2 years and ago it produced 
the following results.  

Survey# Question#  Table1          Table2
263     Address    3830 TULSA WAY  3830 Julsa way
268     Q41        Boot hurts      foot hurts
287     Q22a       Noisy           nosey neighbors

I lost my original database when my computer crashed 4 years ago.   
It only required 1 line of code to pull the question number which is 
the field name for each column.  I just can't remember how to 
reference the field name using arrays.  This method is slower but 
much less code and work and since it is only used 1 time every 4 
years for a city wide survey speed isn't important. I could add 
another column but am pressed for time.  I am creating several other 
large databases while working on this.  Thanks again.
