Herbert, I think a class at the local college might stand you in good stead. It sounds as if you might have a need for numerous actions similar to this one. I can't help you myself, and it's possible that other might feel that you need either professional or educational help, not just a canned solution. In a message dated 10/9/2011 3:05:32 P.M.

Paste as above i.e. search for where last entry was and paste below that etc. 14) Activate 5th tab on copied from spreadsheet and repeat the above pasting process 12) Once all 5 tabs are done, close spreadsheet where data is being copied from without saving changes 13) Leave the master open.
