Thank you Richard and all who took the time to respond with suggestions.
Although my idea of creating a report list in Microsoft Word with the *.ste
file by
deleting everything before "Reports" and with a wildcard to delete everything
between
each "Report Name" - which took altogether just a few minutes - worked well,
Richard's suggestion to use Brian Hancock's method with the STE-MGR program is
fantastic!!
Thank you very much Rich and Brian.
DataPerfect is alive and rocks!
All the best
