If not I'll reply later. <br /><br />I had tried putting it into Excel but I discovered that excel cells are pretty limited in what they can hold and so I lost most of the info from my larger fields. html didn't work either. <br /><br />Thanks again!Christopher Dummitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063266631046047675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219969431452309260.post-31108802014641926172012-10-24T10:24:17.427-04:002012-10-24T10:24:17.427-04:00Read this:
