• Dang... you wrote an article on it, they published it, and they still don't get the hint???

    By the way, the "bad" character is actually a CHAR(11) or "Vertical Tab" in the ASCII character set.

    And, I hadn't thought of using "Paste Special"... that's a great time saver! Thanks!

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
