    Hi there Hesham!

    If you look at the attached picture file above, the red arrow is pointing to the 'chat room' login. Just type your name in the specified box and click 'Enter Chat'. You'll be taken to the white room (as I like to call it, LOL) and can function like a standard chat room.

    In regards to what time members are online, well that differs with each user. You must remember, everyone here is a volunteer. They give their time and efforts for the greater good, cause it ain't for the money, I'll tell ya that But if you go to the main forum page and scroll all the way down to the bottom, it should tell you exactly whose on line at that moment. You could always pm somebody and ask if they want to chat. Otherwise, you may get lonely in there. You can use the chat anytime you'd like, even setup times with your friends you'd like to chat up about VBA or the web site!

    Argh!! I missed it!


    Starting painting my computer room this past weekend (still not done) so my computer has been unplugged since then.

    Hope the chat went well! (although I have no doubt that it did!)

    Smitty,

    we have a table for two (with a crib) reserved; if you will be accompanied by more just let us know so we can break out the fold-away chairs!

    I thought the chat was awesome! I didn't win anything though. I'll just have to keep trying.

    The discussion of the future of VBA as well as the descriptions of the upcoming books from MrExcel was well worth the time it took to participate. I hope the chat session becomes a regularly occurring event.
