Kooooollll. Now that we've gotten over this hurdle, how can I get the cells to turn white again when they're cleared. Can I use the string that you last sent me; if so where in the code, if not, what can be done? Never mind, I thought that I'd be able to select several cells and clear them at once. But 1 at a time will work. Catalin, much thanks for your attention and input. I know that it's not a lot, but I really do appreciate all you've done...
