Hi Gord

Thx for your input also, although I have to say, this is the most bizaar
thing.

The code I originally posted works perfectly on my other file, yet this
seems to be a real nut-buster.

I even went so far as to convert the cell back to standard and it is still
not wanting to play fair....

Your rework hasn't garnered a positive outcome....

Cheers
Mick.
