Who says that book wouldn’t be a fine Christmas present?? Stupid publishers.

Ross - No, but that's (partly) intentional. The publisher explained that pre-xmas is a *really* bad time for publishing technical books, as the bookstores tend to fill their shelves with 'present' books, not technical ones. It also gave us a few more months to get it written !

Do indeed print it out! !

It is that chapter in John Greenís great book that I keep returning to every time I do something serious in Excel VBA.

Yes, international users are a challenge. As are international programmers.

I'm writing al Excel app with lots of VBA a under Spanish XL2003 running on English Windows XP. I cross check on XL 2000 (English language Windows XP & XL) for compatability.

Actually, the application is used primarily by someone in Italy (on Italian Windows XP running Spanish Office 2003) but they share their results & reports with yet another person, in Spain (Spanish XL2002 & XP). Yikes!
Yes, there is the *occasional* tweak needed to handle the variations.

In summary...I appreciate the link. It'll save me a few headaches - no doubt.
