Glad to hear you found it!

While I wish I hadn't convinced myself that users would recognise that
if the filenames were within quotes then the formula was also probably
within the quotes, with the confusing number of archives already
submitted over the past couple of years dealing with assigning ASX
stocks to AB sectors and industries, I'm loath to issue yet another
with such a small change.

Look at it this way - you're now further along the path to becoming
Excel educated, and now know the difference between a formula and a
huge, funny looking text string :^)

Regards,

	Mark
