Ok I need some help. I have a database that stores a list of drawings. The data can be a single drawings, for example "e45" or a series of drawings, for example "e1 thru e45". I need code that can take the text for a series of drawings and expand it and load them in a listbox. For example, take the text "e1 thru e5" and expand it to read "e1" "e2" "e3" "e4" "e5" as single drawings on separate lines in a list box. Thanks for your help in advance.
