Hi

Can you be more specific about the error you receive, 1004 errors can be
caused by multiple things. Post the error text/message you receive in the
error dialog as well as the number.

I tried to send you the test excel workbook I created which works for the
very small dummy dataset I input, but your email is invalid. Sent to:
Exceluser.1rb0tm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If you want this file post your email address (or post a corrupted version
and clues on how to uncorrupt it) and I will send it again.

Regards
A
