The AFL class dunce is still here and trying to work through this. Thanks for your reply Ed, but when I insert this in Explore it doesn't output anything. If I change anything I'm back to my error message.
All I want is to output the SIC number in Explore; seems so simple but I'm really frustrated I can't make it work. What super simple thing is this non-programmer missing?? Thanks again for any help.
