Check VBA's help for Onkey and you'll see lots that require the curly brackets.

(But I didn't need them for ctrl-s.)

Many thanks Jim and Dave - those OnKey statements do the job very
nicely. Are the curly brackets only required for the ESC / BREAK
shortcuts?

Anyway, thanks to your help, I now have, for the first time in more

really very grateful.

Best wishes
Paul
