Dave just one more question
Hey Dave,
Thank you again for those links. How do I know that I can download from those sites and it will be safe? There are some great ideas on those sights, how do you know about them? Time? Experience? Does anyone answer the Application error section on this site? Everytime I am in a certain workbook the computer locks up on me. I think it may have something to do with a filtering macro. Know anything? -- Though daily learning, I LOVE EXCEL! Jennifer |

Sometimes, it's just experience.
But once you've visited the newsgroups a while, you'll know the names of the regulars (and which sites get pointed to a lot). Both John Walkenbach and Debra Dalgleish make their living from Excel and Office. Nowadays, John spends little time in the newsgroups--but there was a time he was quite active. But his site is pointed at with amazing regularity--and his books are often recommended. Debra is still quite active (for a woman of her age!). (Now I'm in trouble!) I would trust both of these sites--but if you don't want to, open the workbooks in safe mode (macros off) and review the code before you trust it. I'm not sure I saw the post about the application error. But when someone doesn't get a reply, it's usually because no one understands the question, the question lacks enough details, or it's just too much work for a newsgroup response. You may want to find that original message and post a followup. Jennifer wrote: Hey Dave, Thank you again for those links. How do I know that I can download from those sites and it will be safe?

What's the difference between men and CDs (certificates of deposits)?
CDs mature. (I love that joke.)
