Don't think I do anything wrong. Where are these files coming from? Although comma-delimited files are in fact text, some applications always use the extension ".csv" for them. On Windows, that means "comma separated value" file. Windows uses ",txt" for tab-delimited , and ".csv" for tab-delimited. Excel on both Windows and Mac does the same. What has led you to believe that these are comma-delimited files? -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
