Garry,

Thank you this worked, but I'd like to understand why my original code
works on some machines and not others.

Thanks again for your help.

Rob


You're welcome, Rob!

Note that...

'ThisWorkbook' is an EXPLICIT (fully qualified) reference to the file
containing the currently running code.

'ActiveWorkbook' is an IMPLICIT reference to whatever workbook belongs
to the currently active window.

'Application.Quit' shuts down Excel. I don't think this is what you
want to do.

'Application.DisplayAlerts = False' ALWAYS NEEDS TO BE TURNED BACK
ON!!! Thus, should only be used to temporarily cancel unwanted messages
while certain things are being done via code which would otherwise
generate an alert. Example...

Sub DoStuff()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
vCalcMode = .Calculation
.Calulation = xlCalulationManual
End With

'Do stuff...

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Do stuff that raises an alert you want to cancel...
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

'Do more stuff...

'Cleanup
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = vCalcMode
End With
End Sub
