thank you so much for your help! I greatly appreciate it! I'll look at it tonight then get back to you on Monday :) damn how in the hell did you get it to compress that small :)

ya All I need the script to do is in the done field add a 2 and in the wire number field add the wire number from x to y so say you want to reserve 5 numbers...
wow now that you point that out I just looked and ya you are right about the bug! I will have to look at that!

it is 8:00 here. I am in California.
the sample BD I deleted out most of the wires just to make it a little smaller. we have over 10k wires here at the station. as for the wire number itself we put the number on each end of the wire when we pull it so we can look up where the wire is going...
