Hi Michael, The data was from the field notes I created the day I figured it out, which is why the formatting was bad; I had copied it from a Word document. I've just dug out the original document and pasted the contents into a new document which I will email you off-list. Jim's way sounds a lot simpler than mine. I didn't know SQL particularly well, so I had to fight my way through it. The method I came up with does work though, if you need it as a fallback.
