Seems like an awful lot of work, Josh. I'd be tempted to smack the users
until they came to their senses.<g If you haven't done a task pane
before
(like me) you'd get more out of the experience than doing a userform
though.
And it would dock nicely in the Excel app window.

| Infragistics) and hosting it in either a taskpane or a non-modal dialog
that

control?
| Other?
