Hi The pest from Sarnia. I think I solved the first problem, made them as a csv file, but my DOS program will only write 64 characters per line (doesn't csv have to be on one line)?? I have a few records with over 3,000 characters.
Still haven't figure out how to use MySQL. Would it be better if I found a search engine that could do text files?? You people are geniuses. I wish there was a group for beginners to databases.
