Hi Mudraker

I actually did look for the tags to wrap the code in but didn't see them (I'm used to the mrexcel.com forums) and that's also the reason for posting in the top forum.............I thought I was on mrexcel again. As for the subject, I wouldn't know how to express it any other way as I'm new to this and I was coming to the end of mt tether....

Anyway that said I'll take up your suggestions, post in the correct forum and try and remember where I am in future...
