By the way -- the file was stored in the Outlook Temp folder, since it had
been opened from an e-mail (attachment). If that was the reason, shame on
me. I resaved the file to a "proper" location and the behavior stopped being
at issue. Wierd!

Time after time I set the scrollarea property to a given worksheet to
$A$1:$K$32. But when I close the VBE it blanks out and the property
doesn't take hold.

Any ideas please?
