It is not something to do by hand. You can write a simple script to unzip the files and combine them into one big file, then import that into AB. If you put all the 2007 files in one directory and run this command on Linux (probably will work on a Mac too) it will do it for you: for f in `ls *.zip`;do zcat $f |grep -v "^<" >>2007.csv;done It's harder on Windows because the zcat and grep commands do not exist. I'd probably write a Python script if I had to do it on Windows. > Am I missing the earlier data, and are there more continuous data files for > individual pairs? As has been pointed out, there are links at the bottom of the page for previous years. No continuous files. Bill
