Case one: Using a browser, log to https://www.nsncenter.com/ and give it a search term: 5960®ULATOR&"ELECTRON TUBE" in the NSN box, and click on the WebFLIS Search green button. Then use the browser "File" pulldown, select Save Page As and modify the extension to .TXT The resulting file is a bit different than what one sees in other methods. Case two: Choose a method of getting the search results; a given search term will always produce the same results (ie: reproducible), and small changes of the search term may give different results - and THOSE DIFFERENCES are some of what i am talking about. Case three: Choose a given search term, and compare results between various methods; DIFFERENCES may be huge, also some of what i am talking about. In case three, with your program, whatever is happening gives a radically different result. And that result is VERY useful. For some unknown reason, your program/macro refuses to run, and gives the following error message: "Can't find project or library". Would you be so kind as to modify the search term in your program to 5960®ULATOR&"ELECTRON TUBE" and run it? and please send the results?
