Ken,

Thanks for the input.  It definitely handles the field surrounded by the "
characters.

It definitely does not handle the field with the " in the actual data.

This is what I always seem to find with import.  One way handles some issues
but not others.  Change it...you fix some problems, make others.

I don't see this as a problem with fp import command.  I think the data I
get is FUBAR.

Thanks again for taking the time.

Regards,

Scott
