Re: Soft-Coding report titles & column titles

My memory is that making the second and subsequent message files was where I most often confused myself. Keeping them synched sounds simple but I was able to confuse myself with some regularity.

Message files are what I was planning to use - at least for report headings.
I've used them in the past for other things and, years ago, even replicated
the concept to PC DOS apps I was building - used them for screen prompts and

Column titles is where I'm having a problem wrapping my mind around it.

BUT.... (light bulb moment!).... Maybe just one big string for the full
width of column titles. I was stuck on individuals but just retrieving line
1,2,3 as needed is probably very doable.
