I can't imagine why anything in this technique would cause Excel to crash.
Do you get any kind of error message, or any other hints about a possible
problem?

It's taking some work to get the line right. Excel crashed a few times
trying to get the line extended. Will work on it more this weekend when I
have time. If you have good examples and/or advice on what I might be
doing
wrong, you can e-mail me at

Hi,
The fact it will only let you add vertical error bars implies you have
added
the data point as a line chart. Try selecting it and changing the chart
type
to x-y scatter. then you should be able to add horizontal error bars. I
can
email you an example if you want.

the last two weeks was lost as my office computer died while I was
gone.
Now
I have to wait for the computer to return and hope they didn't nuke
the
drive
as all inept techies are wont to do.
