I get my Bookmarks out of Firefox using this Add-on:

SQLite Manager :: Add-ons for Firefox . . . https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/

and this query:

SELECT a.id AS ID, a.title AS Title, b.url AS URL, datetime(a.dateAdded/1000000,"unixepoch","localtime") AS Date
FROM moz_bookmarks AS a JOIN moz_places AS b ON a.fk = b.id

I save it as a .csv to my Desktop, and then run the following Excel macro on it to process the data . . . I have a couple of questions:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

QUESTION #1
This query gives an error sometimes. It doesn't like how it completes for some reason.
I think I added this to fix it: SendKeys ("{ESC}")

It still bombs out at the end, though, sometimes.
It looks like it handles the data fine, though, it's just something about how it's not completing properly.

Can you tell me if there's anything wrong at the end?

QUESTION #2
There are a lot of these underscores, where I check for garbage characters . . . _
Is it wrapped like this for a reason?
Or could I get everything on one row, separating the lines by a space?
I think it would then be easier for me to see, and understand, what each row is doing.
