G'day Shan, For your benefit, please be aware the the VBA community consists of members who are multi forum members or contributors. Hence its all to easy for cross posted issues to be located. I would have it as a guess that almost all sites have as part of their "rules", one which deals with the issue of cross posting. Please take the opportunity to read the rules and then you'll understand why cross posting without the links, irritates a significant majority of the VBA community.
