Thanks, I though there was some hidden characters. That option for data dumper is what I was needing the "\n\n". I will keep that in my do not forget pile. First program I have written with alot of string manipulation. I got tired of modifying my database update program, since the data never comes to me the same way. Now I add two lines two the excel file I receive, first line is which database,second line is the database fields with drop downs, the other lines is the data. This way I never have to manipulate the program again.
