I do not believe in prescience, but Hayden McKay comes close to shaking my "non-faith". In response to my earlier request for help, he recently replied: <snip> Place this at the top of all 'while & for' loops (after any delcared values) doEvents(0) This will keep everything active while loops are running. This also prevents the app to "not responding" incase of a very long loop. <snip> I did not use this info because "guru" and "help" did not turn up any references to it. Then, my system got hung in a problem which I have yet to decipher, and I had to literally "pull the plug" to stop it. I still don't know anything about "doEvents", but I am convinced that I need to learn. Is it an undocumented feature? Allen
