Highlighting rows problem
If I take the code out I can add columns no problem, so I guess the code will
only work if the worksheet is set and no more columns need to be added. But anything anyone can come up with is much appreciated.

Highlighting rows problem
You probably still have old formatting. Start with a new sheet or delete the columns beyond your data & SAVE. Do ctrl+end to check before/after. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "John Moore" wrote in message ... Hi Don ,,, thanks ,, works fine ,, but I still can't add new columns.
