Hi Brad

don't know for sure (someone else around here probably will), but i'm
guessing that as you have Option Explicit you're making not only variable
declarations required but also ensuring that the objects are specified for
the methods or properties and not leaving it "to chance" (although help
doesn't say this!)

Thanks all for the help. This did the trick.
Out of curiousity, why does one need to put "Application." in this
instance.
Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

I am getting the following error and I have no clue why:
Compiler error: Variable not defined

The error is showing up on:
Option Explicit
ScreenUpdating = False
(rest of the code deleted...)

What's the deal?

Thanks in advance,
Brad K
