Thanks again and Merry Christmas

If at all possible, try to work in the oldest. And test in the newer.

Life will be a little easier that way.

Remove that from the .sort line.

To All,
I am trying to help a buddy via email, with Ron's help we fixed the
Workbooks.OpenText problem, but now we have an error at the
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2") point. It has something to do with him
having Excel 2000 and me Excel 2003.

My tired eyes must be missing something that is different from 2000
to 2003, but I can't find it. I would appreciate the help.

Thanks
Harry
