I also use a Word script to edit the "doc_file" html to change the name of the files that are retrieved for that day, because the site is set up naming the news-stories using the day's date; ie: "20020727.htm". So, to get only the stories for today, I have to be specific using STAYBELOW, or it will grab all stories for the last week and a half. It was a lot simpler to do (once I figured out the scripting) than it is to explain... -- Chan
