This is how I started with macros. You'll find out that what's recorded may
not necessarily be the most efficient way to do it, but it's a start. Good luck! Barb "M&M" wrote: Hey Barb I got it to work. Wow it amazes me how many features Ive been missing out on.

Further to Barb's advice on the macro recorder, Tushar Mehta's section on
"beyond the macro recorder" has some good pointers on cleaning up the code that was created by the recorder. http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/vb...rder/index.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 9 Aug 2007 10:06:03 -0700, Barb Reinhardt wrote: This is how I started with macros.
