    Did it let you enter data and calculate? Will try it in a mo. Viewing isn't a problem as Libra office lets me view the spreadsheet. It's getting those pesky macros to work.

    A colleague just sent me a copy he uses on L/Office so i now I have it on the laptop. It warns about the macros, but will not run them. When you look at the macros, they are blanked out so cannot run them Checked all the settings etc but to no avail. It wont let me upload it unfortunately.

    Virtual Drive

    As you have guessed it is quite heavy and after playing all day, time for a break. Start afresh tomorrow. The basics are running just needs tweaking to streamline it all. I should have done this 40 years ago, lol
