Bob, I have found the macro I had lost but, having pasted it into the
PERSONAL.XLS module it will not run - have I missed something when I copied
it into the Word doc where I saved it?

I do hope you can help - it is imortant for me to get it going soon and it
is way beyond me - as you can see it is the work of others.

€˜Insert row reproducing formulae from row below

Sub InsertRowsAndFillFormulas(Optional vRows As Long)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

If vRows < 1 Then
vRows = Application.InputBox(prompt:= _
"How many rows do you want to add?", Title:="Add Rows", _
Default:=1, Type:=1) 'type 1 is number
If vRows = False Then Exit Sub
End If

'if you just want to add cells and not entire rows
'then delete ".EntireRow" in the following line

Catastrophe! I did not keep a copy of a macro which inserted a row above
and
copied everything from the row below into the new row except any contents
and
fill color. The formula in some of the cells was copied but none of the
contents so the new row was ready for entries

One of you helped with this several years ago and it has been very
useful -
please help again.
