Thanks Wayne. This would definitely be faster than getting Excel opened and
doing it there. Given Alan's great suggestion in only stepping through
string fields (this *does* have constant object formats) things should be
even quicker. Now to give them a nice simple GUI to do it in. :) Thinking
about wxPython (what I'm most used to), though it's been a while. Not sure
if there are better options for something simple like this.

Great help guys. Thanks.
