A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.
Hi Vijay
appreciate your suggestion about sending a dummy workbook but i am afraid this will not be possible. I think the “dummy” would only be helpful if i were to submit the entire project together with all the VBA subroutines. Aside from the issue of anonymising a lot of demographic data (not just names and addresses), I am obliged to consider the question of intelectual copyright. I am sure the organisation I work for would not appreciate sharing all the coding and structure with the world at large.
so, again with many thanks for your time, i think i am left with very few alternatives viz. either wait to see if anyone else comes up with the same problem, and a solution or carry on burning midnight oil and solve myself. Last hope (!) would be that microsoft recognise there is an issue and come up with a fix mmmmm.....
best regards
