Roy,

Can't thank you enough. I've now had a chance to try out a couple of the
solutions you laid out and they all work well. I chosen to use a cell in a
hidden sheet and use vbveryhidden to hide same....seems to be a little more
secure. The named range solution works well but IMO would be too easy for an
OP to overcome. If there is a way, other than a macro command, to "unhide" a
veryhidden sheet it eludes me.

Anyway, thanks again for your help and for staying with me on this...have a
great day....

Don
