    Hello rvc81,

    There are many restrictions when using UDFs. Here is an excellent link that explains what you can and can not do with a UDF.

    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.

    Activecell can't be used in a UDF, use Application.Caller as in "DataRow = Application.Caller.Row"
