Any time you make anything "foolproof" the universe conspires to make a
better fool.

Rick,

This is bloody brilliant!  For an insolvable problem it comes very, very

close. 

In addition to the comments about using something other than '#' there 
is the problem that step #5 would retrieve '2107071,' (with the comma) 
as an invoice number. 

My guess is that these comments are entered by hand, not by an automated

system.  Otherwise they would be standardized already.  The chances of 
getting a handle on a foolproof process seems impossible.
