Thank you! Thank you! Worked like a charm once the user got his head around
it. Only took 25 minutes. THe total number was a bit of a stunner though,
over 900,000. I did a double check of all the As and came up with 33,000
manual and 43,000 using the macro. Any ideas why this might be? Can always
discount the macro count by 25% but...

Now is there any way of combining docs say all the A into one?

Thanks again
