I hadn't tried that yet. Remember, I'm coming from 1-2-3, so this is all new to me. If you say it does, then it must< g >. Actually, I simply recalled that there were multiple parameters (top left and bottom right) mentioned. Didn't read too closely, but I'm sure that you're correct here. < vbg >

>oRange.AutoFill(...)
>oRange.Value = "somevalue"

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that for now.:-)
