Hi all

I have had a try with this and it's beaten me too. i'm trying to display 2 columns from a text file. Row 1 are headings and the environ$"username" will be the column name I wish to use and contains annual leave type data going down. And i would like to display column 1 which will have dates for the year.

I want to populate a listbox with any rows with dates that have an entry under the corresponding column heading as well as the column with the entry (skipping any blanks).

It should hopefully look like this small example:

Col1 Username
02/04/2018 Annual - AM
05/05/2018 Annual - Day
06/05/2018 Annual - AM

I can do it with Access/SQL fairly easily but due to network traffic i've been told i have to go back in time and use text files.

I have different excel files updating text files and my tool reads them but Im hopeful that it will take over the updating but i still need to display them for people.

Can any body provide me with any solutions?

Many thanks in advance - Mike

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
