Thanks for the info,

I am not failiar with your scheme but will take a closer look at it when I get home. This sounds like it may be a viable method but until I play with it there is no way for me to tell <S>. Perhaps take a look at my 2nd post and see if that gives you more guidance. BTW the list does not have to be sorted however it is initially in that format.

Thanks so much and hope I can get something going.

Note Robert M's correction on the length/origin of the array in the ReDim step. I always use Option Base 1 so that problem goes away which is why I didn't think of it even though I tried to make the rest universal...

I did read your other posting --

I really don't have anything else to suggest -- unless arrays are really very large and/or you have very tight time constraints (and if so, VB wouldn't seem to be the logical choice for final implementation) a "compiled for speed" executable would seem unlikely to me that the reduction loop would be a major bottleneck unless this is iterative in nature.

If you get farther and have more specific questions/problems, post back...
