I have a data file sorted by U.S. State (2 Letters) with a random number of records per state. Boss wants Each state output to a SEPERATE FILE.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would like to do this in one pass.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(even down and dirty coding from whatever)&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks ...

First, is the info in a database of a file (text) format?<br><br>Regardless of the present form/format you say &quot; ... wants in seperate files by state ...&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does this refer (again) to database or file format?<br><br>Is this a &quot;seperation&quot; 9e.g. a permanant change to the way information is stored, or just a one time listing of the &quot;information&quot; for his/her use?<br><br>
