Thanks a lot for that, I don't know much about VBA but it will be interesting
to give it a go

Hi

Then from a previous post of Nick Hodge

Opening the VBE (Alt+F11) and if there is not an immediate window
showing,
go to ViewImmediate window. (Ctrl+G). In here type

Application.StatusBar=False


This returns control of the status bar to Excel, as to why this may
have
happened...??????? (Exit VBE an Excel)


You could try this to see if it helps.

Thanks Roger but that it didn't mention it either, it's a real mystery
because we've always got a total before, now it's stuck on READY.

On our training machines, autofilter no longer gives the number of
records on
the bottom left, it now say READY, I know that Filter mode shows
sometimes,
what's changed on the laptops?

Thanks
