Shane once again you have gone way above and beyond in your efforts to help me. My hats off to you and your quick response to my problem. I have successfully executed the code that you provided. When I evaluated it and tried to modify it to meet my script it produced an error when it tried to create the textbox. If you have a moment I have posted the code to the internet where you can perhaps assist me in determining the source of my error. I am new to the execute concept and I am sure that this is where the trouble arises. I added the debug command where I think it is failing. This script will be used to parse large csv log files that contain a variety of columns etc. Thanks again for your help in this matter. iReport II
