Dan, There is a program out there called VEdit, from Greenview Data, in AnnArbor, Mi. Web address is www.vedit.com. It's a neat text editor, and it has a macro called WildFile, which will step through a series of programs, and do a search and replace of whatever you wish, including double quotes to single quotes. I hate to plug another product on the list, but this one is one I SWEAR by, so I will. It will search all of the files in a directory, and either open the file where you have an occurance, or open one line, promt you for a replacement, or replace automatically. Neat tool to solve the problem in question. It will also auitomatically make a backup copy of the files you changed with a .bak extension, so you can go back to them, if you wish. I changed over 200 files at one time using this thing, and it saved me a LOT of hours, and did it cleanly and quickly. Just a thought if you have a LOT to change. Damon Damon D.
