I'm sure the line length maximum is available, but I tried searching and was unable to find it. Googling for "Visual Basic for Applications" returns a download link for the [MS-VBAL].pdf , the VBA Language Specification. It says that an implementation may impose a length restriction. (When I went to http://downloads.microsoft.com, I could not locate the language spec download on that site, but it downloaded OK from the Google link.) IIRC, in the past that length limit was 255. It may have been extended in recent versions. Larry Linson Microsoft Office Access MVP

I hear you about keeping data in a table, Tom! alex |
