Hi, ALe,

I can?t even get my Excel to write any information using FormulaLocal although both debug.print and a messagebox show the propper formula in local notation. This even remains after I rebooted my computer - can?t get the propper syntax (to my opinion) to work: tried it with address, changed to FormulaR1C1 and ReferenceStyle xlR1C1. If there is a match it will occur in the cell specified by row and column not within the rest.

And, like MD stated, no problem using the english terms.

Ciao,
Holger
