I have not set my code up properly in the first place--I've been using
relative references off of an activecell in a "key" column--just doing
it intuitively. And what a tangled web I have woven! I will try to
find some stuff to read on named ranges and column headings. Also
Pascal showed me some code which makes navigation a bit easier.

Since you would use something other than excel, what would you
use?--In other words, what should I consider to be the next step up,
if I want to do a little research? I'm mainly concerned about putting
a bunch of work  into a vehicle which will turn out to be unable to
handle the load down the line.

And what about those WebQueries that can't handle what I can do
manually--does that make sense to you???
