Hello again Steve,
Although search+replace seems a lot easier, there are actually a few
down sides in using such a tool. There are a few around now with varying
functionality (case sensitive, wild cards, etc.). One important feature
most do not have is the ability to express a search text at the end of a
string (which is what right$() gives you). If you search+replace on
"ave" or " ave", you may get more that you bargained for!
