Hi Ashish Thanks for tht. However it is not what I need. It is great for the photo selection and I will use it for that. What I want here is to copy the Comments Box thru to another sheet.
Daniels code appears to be exactly what I want but a small error at the moment. If I can get Daniels code to work that would be great.
