Havent looked at the workbook compare utility, i will do that in a
second. PCLive, your first Idea is actually much closer than your
second. If you open two sepearte instances of excel you can not
easily reference a cell from the other instance. I want to be able
type = and then click in the other window to reference the cell. And
yes, I do have two monitors and can drag excel any which way I
please.

Thanks again,
