Sorry, none of this is working, Mike. I tested both solutions and they
worked fine for me ... the only thing I can think of is you either have
an add-in that is affecting your environment or perhaps something went
amiss in the Excel installation on your laptop. Perhaps either running
"Help | Detect and Repair", or if that fails, try re-installing Excel
(I know you said "you re-intalled the program" but I wasn't sure if you
just meant the Personal.xls file ...
