Thanks everyone for all of the information! Now I will have to see if my mind can absorb enough of it to make my code work. If not I know where to come for more help. Thanks again, Garner

Ive always found google to be perfect for this, just paste the error code or error message into the search and you will find a plethora of discussion on that error. Current blacklist svmilky - Extremely rude | FeRtoll - Rude personal emails | ironstrike1 - Rude & Obnoxious behaviour

Hi Paritosh, I thought that this was the problem but I haven't figured out how to do it. If I use a "close" event in the sub that shows the "Excel" workbook, the workbook flashes on the screen and back off before you get to look at it. I tried to put it in my main form "activate" sub and that didn't work either. I need this to happen automaticly as the user closes the "Excel" window so they can just click on another part of the picture. Could you give me an idea of what the code would look like and what sub to put it in? Like I said, I'm "self-taught" in "VB" so my teacher isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Thanks again, Garner
