Thanks for letting me know that you found the date setting.

For online information on VBA, see David McRitchie's list of tutorials

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...m#vbatutorials

For books, there's a list on my web site:

http://www.contextures.com/xlbooks.html

John Walkenbach's books are good, and so is Microsoft Excel 2002 Visual
Basic for Applications Step by Step by Reed Jacobson. If possible,
browse through a few at the bookstore, and see which style suits you.

And it's always nice to help a neighbour <g -- I'm in Mississagua.
