Paul this thread was marked as solved at VBA Express so I would not expect this to be an issue. I made the comment here that it had been posted elsewhere first. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by posting that I crossed posted. I was very up front. The very first line on the other thread is as follows:

" ***This issue was raised on a different forum first but marked as closed with no real solution.*** "

Are you telling me that there are no different people over here that may be able to help? Or that no one here would find this information useful?
