We discuss implementation of TOPbase and Iron Project opacities for stellar spectral codes. We use a technique employed by Peach, where a Boltzmann-averaged cross section is calculated for selected temperatures, and the opacity obtained from double interpolation in temperature and wavelength. It is straightforward to include {\it all} levels for which cross sections have been calculated. Boltzmann-averaged cross sections for Fe II show a local maximum between 1700 and 2000[A]. We suggest this feature arises from 3d^5 4snl to 3d^5 4pnl transitions within Fe II. IUE spectra of iron-rich CP stars show local minima in this region. Theoretical calculations of a representative stellar continuum demonstrate that Fe II photoionization contributes significantly to the observed minima.
