When you say alphabetical order are you talking just about what you see in the grid? If so that is probably not too hard, but if you are also talking about the output file that's not possible unless the output file consists of only the records that start with &quot;^&quot; and not records like &quot;ALLOW_DROPBOX_r05-02-2013<wbr />&quot;.

In the following project, I am modifying websites from a text file in an MSFlexGrid.  What is needed is a way to check whether the newly added entries are already duplicated before exporting them to the text file again.  

How can I put a msgbox or test in place to avoid duplication?

Also, how can I sort the sites in alphabetical order?

avoid exporting duplicate strings

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
