Pete,

The changes you suggested worked like a charm!

Your macro is fast, efficient, and does exactly what it is supposed
to.

It is amazing, the number of shortfalls Excel 2003 has compared to the
new 2007 version (which allows me to conditionally format by searching
for duplicates)
But your macro has brought 2003 up to speed, at least in this one
case.

Thanks so much for your help, this macro should definitley be posted
somewhere where it can be easily found, it is very useful, and
modifiable to suit other specific needs.

Thank you again for the time you spent in helping me with this issue,
and coding a great solution.
This forum is made great by people like yourself and the others who
posted with replies to my issue

You are all great! Many Thanks!
