If that's not what you're after, show us the XML of some more examples and try to put the algorithm that you want into English or pseudo-code. It is basically. I'll see if I can figure out how to move it into a function (as the other posters did) that I can call from different places, and at some point I need to get it closer to the below (much more complex, it seems) example. A real world algorithm from the Chicago Manual of Style, in English: FIRST NUMBER SECOND NUMBER EXAMPLES 1-99 use all digits 3-10, 71-72, 96-117 100 or multiples use all digits 100-104, of 100 1100-1113 101-109 use changed part only 101-8, 201-209, etc. 1103-4 110 through 199 use two or more digits 321-28, 210-299, etc. as needed 498-532, 1087-89 But, if three digits change 1496-1504 in a four-digit number, 2787-2816 use all four Ugh ... what a PITA! I don't expect anyone to actually figure this out for me suffice to say! Bruce
