Is there any way to freeze alternating columns? My columns are in a certain order that I need to keep them in, but only certain columns need to be viewed. Ctl doesn’t work with the freezing of panes?

Much better Doug. I started out with Panes(1) because I new I could rely on it. Only later did I add the If function, but didn’t think to simplify the original code. Good work.

Very nice, Dick! Another hitherto undiscovered (by me) part of the Excel object model revealed.

This shorter code seems to do the same thing. What do you think?

Function GetFrozenInt(wn As Window) As Range

If wn.Panes.Count = 4 Then
With wn.Panes(4)
Set GetFrozenInt = .VisibleRange(1)
End With
End If

End Function

How about

Function GetFrozenInt(wn As Window) As Range

    If wn.Panes.Count = 4 Then
        With wn.Panes(1)
            Set GetFrozenInt = _
               .VisibleRange(.VisibleRange.Cells.Count).Offset(1, 1)
        End With
    End If

End Function

Anyone know how to find out which cell is at the intersection of the frozen rows and columns? It seems to be a write only property.

Thanks for the feedback, everybody.
(Dick - sorry, I didn't realize you had listed your software under "About this Blog".

I think I'm getting addicted to my "Daily Dose". Keep up the good work.

Someone directed me one time to some freeware called ZapGrab and I've used it ever since. The quality of the screen shots are pretty good, even with jpg files. Best of all, it's extremely easy to use. Here's the link:

I use SnagIt, too. Not free, but pretty cheap, and it is so versatile. I use it for some of my web site graphics, but mostly for documentation of my projects for my clients. It has COM add-in hooks for Office apps, so if you're working in an app like Word or PowerPoint, you click the button, the app minimizes and you select what you want captured, and it's inserted where you were in the original app's document.

I used to use a lightweight bit of freeware called ScreenSeize, which also was worth the price. (Lots of free stuff isn't.)

I use MWSnap, a little and nice software (no installation needed), available for free at http://www.mirekw.com/

I too use Snagit, excellent screen capture program. Does "video" too.

To get good results on a web page, use the GIF format.
For printing jpg is fine too, but you need to check the quality setting that is used for creating the jpg format.
