hi Gustav, Arthur
Gustave, soory its not part of humor :))
It's totally not SQL, Access, VB related; that why is aid "really really OT"
I think it could be solved with a batch file. I have to do yet another
report daily, and the divisions have to be sorted in specific order.
Company's software prints everything thats in a specific folder in one
setting, then a human (usually me or secreatary) has to arrange them in
order (which is always the same) I was wandering if those files (lets
assume they are in a text format) can be sorted through batch file that
would be run daily.
