One problem I've encountered is that using text files as data files often means they're corrupted if someone emails them. The email programs think they're "just text" and have their way with them...:( Any suggestions for how to keep this from happening? (Other than telling my users to .zip them first, which some of them understand and others don't.) - John _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
