Hey, if you are stilling looking for a solution to this, that isn't 37 pages
long. Try this link. I had the same issue and went to the web site suggested
earlier and wasn't willing mess with all that code. With some help from the
great people at vbaexpress.com we came up with this solution. It's MUCH
shorter.
