Dave,
I didn't know UltraEdit would case correct. Cool! I always thought it
should but even though I'd check that option, it wouldn't do it. I
just tried it again and it does correct for some of my keywords but
not others. Strange. Must mean I have a bug in my file but the reason
isn't obvious.
On a question you posed to someone else, I just downloaded a 30 day
trial of Macro Express. Someboday else on this thread recommended it
a week or two ago.
