BTW, how many rows does Excel allow? I use MS Access and the single combined file now has 70K+ records. It just occurred to me that this may be a problem for Excel.

Jim, I'm using the files you sent to Les and Tony some time (years?) ago and converted them to Excel, as I have not Acces at home. There were allready too many claims to have them on a single sheet, but by dividing them into Western and Eastern claims (as you did in files) Excel is able to use them.
I have currently no more home Internet connexion since more than one month, and still many difficulties to come over to come back fully to the Net community (I'm surfing right now from a public library), but I have noted kept the track of all corrections I did in the file (usually names written in different ways from one record to another, but also some first names missing, completed using for example the last JG 4 and JG 300 books by Monbeek and Laurant respectively). As soon as possible I will send you them, in case you didn't correct them already.
I will be immensely interested in your updated files, especially if you fill in the gap in Eastern claims between October 1941 and July 1942.
Best regards
Laurent
