Glad you got it working. (I didn't get that you still wanted to use data1--but
who cares <vbg.)

I remember the game--I don't recall the name.

But in my googling, I found this.

We played it on a mainframe in the 70's (IIRC).

Zork????

Wow! LOL, yeah somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind I remember the Dos
prompt.....and I mean the REAL Dos prompt, not the pretend 'Dos Prompt'
within Windows which never seemed to work for me, and which I can't even
remember how to find anymore! :)

I have some not very fond memories of trying to learn Q-Basic. I think I
wrote one of those text only games where your told "Your standing at a
crossroads, ahead of you is a dark forest, to the left is a sunny paved road,
which way to yo u want to go?" etc etc....do you remember them? :-D lol

Thanks again Dave......your some sort of incredible Excel Guru (Compliment).
:-D

It worked a charm, but before the workbook I had to put in my new folder,
