I am a Civil Servant now after spending many many years in another occupation....dare I say in a wide forum like this, but as much as the 'company' likes to do large projects, the localisation of projects is lost and the small Excel VBA beginner like myself is almost inundated with requests to make information work better - on top of the day job, as the Excel work is an adddition to my actual job, but as we all do....we fit it in: thats not a whinge as I love the challenge of finding the answer (albeit with experts on this forum).

Without boring you (i hope not) everyday someone asks for a project of some sort from the design of a form to more complex vba tasks and Excel is at the heart of this and having only come into VBA following a comment from a colleague who said 'You can't do that in Excel' the challenge was set....

Happy Days....just so glad I can programme in my limited way and get a smile now and again........... and thanks to reading my rant!! - trust me, my VBA days are in their infancy and I want to grow old with it
