Nice, wasn't aware of the 'quotedValueList' bit. :)
But that only solves part of my problem. I've got several two-dim arrays
that I have to loop on two different queries, see if there's a match, and
then spit out "arrayName[1stDim][2ndDim] = 1" to set the array value so I
can test whether it's present. And I'm having to spit these out one line at
a time, as far as the end source goes, which means it gets big. Ick. That's
what I'm trying to avoid.
I pondered a different method on my way home from work and I'm going to
mess with that shortly...
