I have set up a custom toolbar containing two symbols linked to two macros,
plus the Format Painter icon. I must save workbooks to flash drive because I
use many different computers, but everytime I open my workbook, the link
between my two controls is always broken, the same thing happens if the
computer I'm on needs to be re-booted. The Format Painter icon always works
correctly. Mostly I use Excel 2003, but occasionaly Excel 2007 under
Vista. Thanks. John
