Mik,

I picked up on your use of application.separator from one of the earlier threads. I wish I had known of that 4 years ago. I'm going to start using it so life is a bit simpler. I have a subroutine for determining the OS and setting a flag. I'll probably still need to use that even though I'll use the application.separator, my paths are enough different on the two systems.

I have a split routine to make up for the lack of a split command in XL2004 given to me by a former coworker.

Thanks for the advice to develop on the Mac. I think that I'll let this project sit until Tuesday when I'll have access to my Mac.

tpoynton, thanks for your advice and counsel, as well.

Thanks,
