Paul above code works great man! I still have much to learn about using wildcards. I say this in jest but what you and the other VBA wizards here call simplified actually hurts my rain sometimes. It also always raises more questions for newbies like me. Which I'm thankful for. You, Greg, Graham, Charles and a couple of others too over the last 2 1/2 years have made learning VBA just challenging enough to keep it super interesting. Thanks to all of you for your time and effort.
