Kraig, Thank you for the offer. I was originally going to go the route that Irv suggested and just do it manually, but the data changes regularly and must be parsed at runtime. I ended up doing it much like roymeo suggested in that I wrote a behavior to check the data item by item. If the first char is a QUOTE is removes the first and last char from the item before adding it to the list. Works great! Thanks for all of your suggestions.
