Balan,

Your macro does in fact work, but you are correct, it is very time
consuming (and resource consuming) due to its recursive nature.

Thank you again for all of your time and effort, you have done very
well! Especially as some just getting into VBA programming!

Well Done, Bravo!

You do not need to worry about this particular problem anymore, do not
let it distract you.
I will work with what Pete and Max have provided and figure it out
from there.

Thank you again Balan, you have been invaluable!
