Two reasons

1. Ignorance (mea culpa). I am a self taught VBA'er so probably miss out on lots that could make my life easier as I don't realise what the alternatives are until I've been forced into a position where I have to explore alternatives.

2. Trying not to overload the OP ( a clutching a straws excuse).

3. Trying to make the process straighforward for the OP or anyone else who has limited experience at VBA.
