doedit help

[Guy Templin]

Thanks for all the suggestions I just got it to work. My problem was on the
import file. I added a delimiter to the end of the record and now it works.
I guess it had too much space after it since it is only 2 fields long. It is
now working.

Thanks for getting me to think outside the box. Sometimes we are so focused
on one issue we forget to look at the whole issue. Which is what is good
about this forum. It gets us thinking in a different direction.
