Just tried your code in 2007.Did not error but left the open excel workbook on the taskbar.

I do not have admin rights to this computer and I am starting to wonder if that is my issue. I have tried all kinds of diffrent code combinations and continue to run into various excel crashes.

OS Vista

Here are the details of the excel crash
