You are correct, of course, Werner. I was thinking along the wrong
path - of trying to write AS I looped (as I was doing with the text
file), rather than using the loop to build the INSERT statement and
THEN writing to the database.
Christopher Jones also provided me with a sample of very basic code
that built the INSERT statement using simple concatenation - and
using the loop that I'd already built. One important bit was using
'chop' to remove the final comma in each of the arrays that I built.
Thank you (and Christopher),
Nelson
