can you use a space as the delimiter? that would retain the semi-colon as part of each of the list elements. should work as long as you know there will always be a space between each item. otherwise, you could manually add the semicolon, but either programatically remove it after the loop finishes (using a combination of left() and right() and len() functions) or using a conditional to add the semi-colon manually UNLESS the current loop iteration is equal to the length of the list. but using a space as the delimiter would (IMO) be much better if the format is consistent and the space will always be there (e.g. you don't have something like "Blah; yadda;whatever") -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
