Hey Barb I got it to work. Wow it amazes me how many features Ive been
missing out on. I spent hrs. yesterday trying to figure this out. But I guess

Thank you.
Deeply appreciate it

Try this:

Tool - Macro - Record Macro

Do what you want

Tools -Macro - Stop Recording.

If you need help cleaning it up, bring it here and we can assist.
