    AWF - Christmas meal

    How about some of us in the States chip in to set up a multi-room Skype VIDEO chat (or other service) so we can all have a toast together.

    I totally disagree: People have learned nothing, the Internet has just dummied down people. The internet has only increased the tolerance and acceptance for bad behavior so now horrible behavior is the new "normal" Back to the Brexit, and other movements like it, is it the internet or is it a...

    Excel SaveAs Path Length is limited to 218 Characters - Error is difficult to trap

    Hanging Excel process

    Didn't really have time to look at all the thread. Looks like it was solved. The takeaway is to make sure any Excel method is qualified with the object reference, even if it is part of the parameters. As I suspected the REPLACE is an Excel method.

    File Format of EXCEL 2007

    Not sure, but suggest looking at the Excel Object Model (F2 Object Browser in code module) to determine if the object model for charts or other objects changed. Seem to remember there was a change at some point, but that was too long ago.
