Sometimes, such files are too large for Notepad (it has a limit, but I am not sure how much), so I have associated .txt files with Windows Write instead of Notepad. All this is assuming that you are using Windows and not a Mac. For Mac, it is probably very similar, however. Good luck, Bob -- ******************************************************** Robert A.
