One of the banes of my existence. I probably had 3 thousand IF 
statements without a THEN in FB2 that had to be fixed before moving to 
FB3.  That was back when bytes were hard to come by and a 1MB RAM chip 
was a couple hundred dollars. The code started on a 128k Mac.

I remember sending Staz some problem code and he commented it wouldn't 
work without the THEN, as he didn't even know it didn't require it.

Thanks for the parsing tips everyone, as I am in the middle of working 
out my database importing code with excel tabbed text files and 
QuickBooks QIF formats

thanks
