Dear Tom,

Thank you for your reply! I am getting an error message on the
following line of the code that I copied from your reply:

If Left(cell.Value, 1).Value = "(" Then

This is the error message I received:

Runtime error '424'
Object Required

Thank you again for any help you can provide.

Jeff
