Hello Newby,

If it were only that simple. Excel doesn't provide any Application properties, or methods to do what you want. It can be done, but it will be a long time before you ready to deal the API programming calls needed to achieve your goal. API programming is very low level code and unforgiving if you make a mistake. You can not only crash your computer, but also wreak havoc with the system files. You may not be able to reboot if you really screw things up. Be creative, and take another approach.

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
