I hadn't tried it, i thought that all code stored in the PERSONAL.xls
was available in each workbook you open. This may be crude but how about
putting that Thisworkbook code in the .xlb file? as this is the base
file that excel references when starting (or at least thats what i
presume) wouldn't every workbook you open already be populated with that
code?

Doesn't work that way for me. It only works in the Personal.xls file.

Sorry!, i meant if the code was stored in the ThisWorkbook module of
PERSONAL.xls would it not then affect every workbook opened?T.

I'm not following you.

The method that Simon is describing can only be used in the
workbook
in
which you place the code.

The method I use (which takes more work to setup) can be used in
any
workbook.

Thanks, Simon. I'm going to tackle your instructions in the AM
and
report
back after. (Your method sounds especially good as you say it
kills
the
ants immediately after pasting.)

If you are ever given code for a standard module then use
Alt+F11
as
before and instead of double clicking Thisworkbook, right
click
in
that
area, choose Insert and then choose Module, then you can paste
your
code
in there. The best way to learn is to record a macro while you
are
doing
a task and then go back and take a look at the generated code,
it's
true
to say that you will see a lot of code that is excess to
requirements
but it will give you a basic idea on how things are
structured.
