David - [You're going to hate me!] Look at your code first -- if there is a problem, it's usually with the code,*especially* when trying to write a report (because it's so confusing). One technique that I use is to import into a file that is reserved for imports -- all the fields are strings of 80 (unless you've got strings that are larger, then I throw in a text field or two). From there, I am able to format data (strip characters, convert to upper/lower case,etc.) THEN I put the data into its appropriate field. Call me paranoid, but it works well, and I make sure that the data gets in the right place. Lauren
