Fred, I have no idea if a new patch has been pushed on to my pc since I last tried this "function".
However, as of this moment, I see this for my copy of Excel. ( I assume it is as current as it can be.) Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (12.0.6504.5001) SP2 MS0 (12.0.6425.1000) ( I finally found this after poking about 4 buttons to find the good old "About Excel" that use to be under the Help menu. I hate it when programs change key mappings or menus.... grrrrRRRR. Sigh.) HTH. Do you know of any specific patch that helps/hurts/affects these features of Excel 2007? -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two.
