again- I'm trying to stay within excel. It's wierd- I've encountered so
many people in the sciences who haven't realized all the cool stuff
excel can do on it's own.

I actually used LOOKUP instead of HLOOKUP and it worked great. I tried
a pass at HLOOKUP and couldn't get it to work when I discoovered

shrunk down to a very small illegible type. Anybody got any ideas on
this? :)
Thanks again!
