That sounds like a reasonable idea and one I hadn't thought of. However, 
with a CSV file of 250 odd lines I'd definitely have to put Python to work.

Following Brent's suggestion of using a database I'm now wondering if 
that's the way that this type of data should be viewed. I'm about to 
start researching MySql.
