This back to Andrew K. about drop down lists, etc. It would be wonderful if I could stop all of the Microsoft programs (Word, Excel, etc.) from trying to be "helpful" unless"asked" by activating the "helpfulness function". (Look into that, Bill Gates....) I find this really annoying, especially when I'm entering data in Excel, just zipping along, and discover that Excel has made assumptions as to what I want to put in the cells. Grrrr! Thanks for everyone's help...I'll let you know what happens.
