Need to filter out items of list

True... forgot about the "read only" issue.  Given that I have about
150,000 rows of data to process I am going to need to create some type of
progress bar or counter.  Using the "repeat for each xxx" method, how would
I obtain the current line position?

Thanks,

SKIP
