mneil, I did read about the clear() function and as far as I understood it is supported by MX2004 and above. That leaves me SOL (no pun intended) with MX or maybe it should be At any rate the brunt of the work is finished now I think and I GREATLY appreciate all your help. I messed around with the array more like I said I would try, and I still didn't get it to work quite right. It still wouldn't change the name for "data.namehere". So it was always overwritting. Not sure maybe able to be worked around or perhaps program limitation from old software. Either way it's irrelevant. I'll read up on the split method just so I get an undestanding of it. Never hurts to know alittle more about things. All in all though, I got the things I wanted working; working. Again I appreciate all the help I've recieved from you guys. I wouldn't have gotten it accomplished without ya. Thanks
