No problem, Jim - fun conferring with you on this.

Anyway, Jim, I think that between the 2 of us, we've now completely
eliminated any and all confusion on the part of anyone reading this who
isn't exactly sure of the correct identification of the symbols on
their keyboard.


No, you have just added confusion to people raed this thread and who weren't
confused originally.

But while I'm at it, this - " - is NOT double quotes, okay? It's a
quotation mark. If anything, it's a "single" quote. THESE - " " -
are "double" quotes , okay? And lastly, this - ' - is NOT a
"single" quote; it's an apostrophe!!


It's not single or double anything, it is qutation mark, or just quotes.

Oh, and one very last thing: This - # - is called the "number
sign" - I'd love to get my hands on the person who renamed it the
"pound" sign - where did he/she come up with that?? THIS - £ - is
the pound sign, okay!?


Only on your side of the pond. On our side, where we use pounds, # is called
a hash symbol.

And VBA is VB for applications, so it is VB. Maybe not the same, but it is
VB.
