i'm trying to make this run automatically -
it was originally part of a demo written
by Andy Pope where the userform was
already showing & you had
to push the button to start it. the form will
show, but nothing happens until you click the
checkbox to show the % values. then it
runs. i haven't changed any of the code
except to add some "call" commands to try
to make it work, and removed the "private"
from some of the subs (which i can replace if
necessary as i have the original code in another
workbook).
without having the workbook & userform i know
it's trickier, but maybe somebody sees something
i need to do...........
thanks in advance! susan
