Fred,

>NB: Yesterday (21st Sept) I posted another head-cracker on the Automation section about "Repeating Rows" but no one has suggested anything yet. May be you can look at it and give it a shot.

I really am only a basics sort of Excel user, so I don't have much of a clue as to what you are trying to get it to do. If no one else popps up with an answer you might try it in the Office section here or at over on the MSDN groups at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx?SiteID=1
