Any idea why the following runs on laptop with XL 2002 but not on desktop
with XL 2000.

It is in a subroutine called by another. The sub does not start but throws
up the comment 'Named argument cannot be found' and 'DataOption1' is
highlighted?



Range("A1:D" & iCount).Sort Key1:=Range("C1"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False,
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

Remove this portion: ", DataOption1:=xlSortNormal"

This option was added in xl2002.

Francis,

The 'DataOption1' sort option was added with Excel 2002. It is not
recognized by earlier versions. When you are working with multiple versions
of Excel, you must be sure you code for the earliest version. Otherwise, as
you have seen, the code may not work.

Many thanks Chip and Dave

I do most of the programming in 2002 on the Laptop (it is newer and much
faster!) but, now I understand the problem I'll remove similar offending
code if it occurs and chack the macro still runs correctly.
