I think I will have to go the tagged text path. I am going to have our programmer change the data to tagged text instead of an Excel CSV file.
You can copy and paste text that has carriage returns into an Excell spread sheet but for this particular job it is all done in the background. Our programmer set this program up for us. Thanks again for all you help.
