Bruce, Thanks for looking into it. I actually converted the tabs to spaces to make it look right visually in the email. Sorry for any confusion. There are indeed tabs where the FIND string is expecting them. Perhaps should have included an attached text file.
I’m finding that only the LAST of the Access Codes is saved though. None of those before the last one.
