Hi Harold,
Yeah, I was considering that option. There are roughly 25,000 entries and 
about a dozen fields involved. I use (Un)Icon rather than Perl and there may 
or may not be unicode issues involved. (Un)Icon doesn't support unicode but 
no unicode characters would be involved in anything more than copying. I 
never learnt Perl (since I could always use Unicon). I'll certainly consider 
this option if no purely OOo solution is available.
Thanks for the hint.
