That seemed to do the trick. I'm glad to know that it was something so
simple to fix the problem. Thanks for the tip.

I created a Macro just using the record Macro tool. I'm analyzing data
points by graphing 600 points and also finding a slope and R-squared value
of
these points. When I open excel, import the data, and run the Macro
everything works fine. However, when I save that file and open a new book
the Macro encounters a bug. I open visual basic and change the line that
is
a problem from the Book1 to Book2 and click Run and the Macro works fine.
Does anyone know a way to change this to avoid this nuisance? Thanks for
all
your help.
