OK, so it will not refresh without code. Makes the whole gadget sort of useless, don't you think? I wish they just added a .controlsource property and made it re-read it on refresh. Would be simpler, IMO.

Thanks, anyway - at least I know I haven't gone through that amnestic deja vu ("I think I've forgotten this before") again. It just doesn't do what I thought it would.
