Hi Burl,

Try changing:

Set oRange = ActiveSheet.Range(Selection,
Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

to:

Set oRange = ActiveSheet.Range _
(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown))

Norm,

The solution worked great, I thank you greatly for helping out, this
has been stumping me for a few days

Again many thanks.

But why is VBA so citical with the syntax, what did the underscore
actually accomplish here (just to give me a beeter understanding).

Hi, Burl,

The underscore is merely cosmtic - it serves to break long lines of code.

The real difference was the deletion of your Select.

See my adjacent response - I inadvertently responded to the wrong strand of
