Q1) Yes, it is a file. For just plain reading in of a file, I have always just left it as is and it has worked. I made the change that you pointed out and it still fails.

Q2) I posted up another node on here that shows a chunk of the code that is having the issue. The first time through the loop, the $strTName is defined and outputs, the second time through the loop, it doesn't appear to be defined. Where is it getting killed?

Q3) The $strTickerName is what it is called in my code - I was trying to shorted the names that I had posted so that it wouldn't line wrap as much and be easier to read - I just missed the one there in my haste to try to post it - I went back and changed that.
