Unfortunately not -- Yet more clarification that I didn't provide.  ;)

I _do_ need to deal with several different fields within the record, some of
which are happily seperated by "," and others whose data is contained within
"" where commas might/might not be present.  This all _should_ of course be
easy since we have a "global" standard and the variance should not be
present... But you know how those work...

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Jim
