I guess that a good question, and the only real answer I have is that is what I was finding in searching out sample code on the web when having multiple columns.

But your code is so much cleaner and works perfectly. I knew their had to be a way to only loop the data once, and you made it so much easier to read.

I'll be incorporating this all into some RibbonX code as well so the user has a nice little way to open the userform.
