Yes, I'm calling it from the Workbook_BeforePrint event.
And yes, Application.Build on my system returns 8216.

Thanks for your testing: as all of our systems have been
updated with the latest patches, there's no way to do the
comparison here. Thanks! And thanks for passing this
information along to MS!

You're calling this macro from the BeforePrint event? If
so I have the
exact same problem. Calling it normally there is no
problem.

I'm running Excel 2000 SP3 with the November 2003
Security Patch (K830349)
installed. The only way you can tell if you have it
installed is to run
Application.Build. This will return "8216" if this patch
is present. SP3
by itself returns "6627".

I tried this code in the BeforePrint event on a
coworker's machine which had
SP3 but no security patch. It was fine. So it may be
that this patch
introduced a bug.

I'll pass this on the MS but I don't have a solution
other than the one you
found.
