Thanks. I never even thought to look there. I learned something new or just
completely forgot about it... The only caveat is that the application caption sticks to the instance of excel where as the activewindow caption sticks to the active window so if you change the window you get a new caption. This happens if you open a new workbook or... -- HTH...

Hi Jim,
I have also experienced problems with the Window menu list being rewritten. I guess that technical feasibility is not necessarily synonymous with desirability, --- Regards, Norman "Jim Thomlinson" wrote in message ...
