James,
I solved the problem when some experimentation reminded me that 'item' is
a list index and not a string variable. by changing the line to,
if item[0] == selName:
I get the matchs correctly.
Now I need to extract the proper matching strings from the list of tuples,
and I'm working on that.
Many thanks,
Rich
