Hi Tom, Problem is, when you use copy/paste in a macro, it uses the same clip board as any other application that's running. The solution is probably to eliminate copy/paste from your macro. It's a very inefficient way to run, and there's nearly always a better and much quicker way to do the same thing. Regards - Dave
