Hi


Thank you everyone who has helped me with this macro problem.

I haven't learnt batch files yet, but would love to Graham

The rewritten macros from macropod, Paul Edstein and Guessed worked. Thank you so much. I'm delighted.

For macropod and Paul Edstein, I didn't know what smart quotes were, but think I might now after reading all the feedbacks again. I still don't know what poor structure, stucture code or code tags are. I can see the hash mark at the top now and never knew what it was for, but I'll press it before I sent this message and hope the message still gets through.

For guessed, is there a limit to the amount of words I can use in a macro?

There is a limit of 64K characters on the size of a code module. And a given expression can have at most 24 continuations (i.e. line breaks the '_' at the end). My code used only 12, but if for some reason I was running up against the 24 continuation limit, I could simply have made each line longer. Conversely, notwithstanding the 64K code module limit, VBA can also handle strings up to 2GB in length.

Lots of VBA functions have their own limits, though. Hence Find/Replace has a 255-character limit for each expression.
