    Hello John55,

    The compass pointer (four 90 degree arrows) will be shown when you are either in design mode or macros have not been enabled.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
    2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Star below the post.
    3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.

    Hello John,
    1. Click View on the main menu or type ALT+V
    2. Click Toolbars or type T
    3. Click Visual Basic on the toolbar list.
    4. Move your cursor across each icon and click the icon that says Design Mode.
