Hi Paul, The devil-spawned CSV issue pops up every few months and the discussions seem to get deep... Shao Sean has a CSV library that may be helpful to you, details posted here: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/ANN-CSV-Parser-Library-1-0-0-td1585347.html I didn't have any luck reaching her site and cannot fin my copy at the moment. :( Best regards, David C. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
