Worked like a charm!
Thanks Tom, if not for you I'd have lost all my hair!

The problem I describe is unique to xl97. Whether that is your
problem
remains to be seen.

Thanks Tom, (yes it is from the Command button). I'll give it a go
when
I'm back at work.
Is this unique to '97?
On both 2k and 2k it works with the property set to true.

If the code is being executed from a commandbutton then change
that
commandbutton's TakeFocusOnClick property to false.

This is more of a "huh" question than a major problem.

An associate at work wrote the following code;
"ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1").Select
Selection.Cut"

It causes an error when the "Selection Cut" statement attempts
to
execute. It states that the cut method is invalid on an OLE
object
(or
words to that effect).
It runs fine in XL 2k & 03 *and* can also be executed without
problem in
the immediate VBA window in '97.

As I said, it is not major (I replaced the
"ActiveSheet.....Select"
with
"ActiveSheet....Delete") and killed the "Selection.Cut"
statement.
I'm just wondering what I'm not understanding (albeit there are
many
things that confuse me!).
