Dimitris,
A quick note - the solution you've proposed depends upon StrExtract
(), so has to be work within its specs. When you have a compnay name
that itself contains a comma in it such as 'XYZ, Inc.', it won't
work. Nope ... there is nothing wrong with the solution, it is just
that it hits the head against the specs of StrExtract().
Anyways ... a nice solution.
A custom DLL version of StrExtract() (maybe fvStrExtract() *smile*)
that takes seperator (say a pipe |) as its inputs and splits the
string using the user-param seperator will do the trick.
