You're right--not a bug in my code--I don't care that far into the HTML 
string--just a bug in your code if you use my code...:)

<<Also, you could do away with the loop altogether by just using 
StringReplace()>>
Yeah, probably could.  Assuming you are right , my misunderstanding.  I 
would have thought the StringReplace would stop at the 0 since I would think 
stringreplace would identify the same end as my object inspector. 
Apparently not true though.
I think what was confusing me is the way the object inspector was showing 
the string--it will stop at the 0.

Anyway--cool--but no kudos for identifying a problem (significant to me 
anyway) and hacking my through it?:)
