Howdy,

Just a reminder when it comes time to submit a question/comment. When
choosing a subject title, BE SPECIFIC. Using titles such as "Help" or "This
doesn't Work" does not help. All it does is clutter and makes all threads
look the same. Especially when other users try to search for topics that
might be able to help them, it makes it difficult to search for useful
threads. If you have a problem with a formula, use a title like "IF() formula
returns #NAME!" or "Code for Average of multiple sheets". Please, stop being
vague on the subject matter. Be smart, think your question through.

Best Regards

Excellent advice. A few years ago, I used to post a "Hints And Tips For New
Users" on the newsgroups. For general suggestions and advice about using the
newsgroups, see http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/NewPoste.htm
