I can get the file open in access easily enough. I'm not familiar enough with access to know how to easily create sequential series of item names (which I know how to do in excel easily). So, at this point, I just open the .que in access, create item names/numbers in excel, and paste these into access. When I close access, they appear in the .que file, so it is working just fine.

Thanks for the help, and I look forward to the new version.
