Answer : Read vertical data

Hi,

Here is your solution. In the attached (modified) database file, please execute a Macro named "Macro1", which completes the job by your specification above. There is a module named "Module1" which defines a function "InsertDesc()". This is the function executed. It can be called as many times as it is needed.

Regards,
Zlatko.
