I wish there was some way to tell it to renumber everything, but so far I haven't found one.
I dunno, maybe if the file was compiled and updated in a different program somehow and then once you had the updated list the text could be copied and pasted into a .txt file.

I don't suppose MS Access would generate anything along the required lines if a database was set up that could be added to and resorted without so much grunt work... I've got it now at home since I upgraded my Office software, but I haven't played with it yet. I built some of the databases I use at work but that was back in the Stone Age on Access 97.
