Hey no problem. During one contract a few years ago, that was all Excel and Access... Can't say I'm sad not to be working on that any more!! :hehe:

I think that if you add a WHERE clause to the SELECT, something like the one I used in my previous post, that'll trim out all of the 'bad' data. You can then have another query to output the bad data separately so you only have to deal with that?

Or am I missing something?
