John,
    Thanks for your reply. I have the script writing to a file and formating OK 
but, I'm not to sure about the formating you always see at the top of the txt 
file from the database.

The biggest problem right now is getting the database guy to send me a mock-up
file. Do you or anybody know what all this crap is? I can see that it obviously 
names the fields but, how will all this affect my script.
                Thanks,
                   Clint
