    Forum Rules2

    Please read and adhere to these simple rules!

    1. Do not post a new help request in an existing thread. (B)

    2. Do not open more than ONE thread per issue here. Expect duplicates to be closed. (B)

    3. Abusive language or insults will not be tolerated. (B)

    4. Do not post advertisements or put promotional links to other services or commercial sites in signatures and posts. (A, B)

    5. Do not ask for payment in the public forum, or put links to personal sites or services as your sole contribution on the forum. (A, B)

    6. Do not inquire about bypassing security measures in files or websites. (B, E)

    7. If you post your question on another site, you are required to provide the link here. Your thread may be locked until that link is provided, after which you may continue. (A, B)

    8. Do not ignore questions and requests by Moderators and Administrators - these must be addressed and any amendments made before you proceed with your thread. (B, C)

    9. The use of AI tools (e.g. chatGPT, BARD, GPT4 etc) to create forum answers is not permitted. If a user is believed to have used such tools to provide a forum answer, sanctions may be imposed. (B)

    A. For new members, Moderator will edit title, add VBA code tags, or add/remove links, as appropriate. For more experienced members, Moderator will admonish and require compliance.
    B. Repeat offenders will get an infraction and banned for any subsequent offence.
    C. Moderator should soft-delete posts until rule violation is resolved.
    D. Moderator should delete the post.
    E. Moderator should close the thread.


    GENERAL GUIDELINES

    1. Your thread title should summarize SPECIFICALLY what you are seeking help with.

    2. Programming code should be enclosed in code tags to improve readability.

    [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE]

    (or select your code and click the # button in the edit controls)

    3. Do not private message forum moderators or members for Excel help.

    4. As this is a free forum where members are not allowed to ask for payment, please don't offer it, as it is contrary to the community ethos of the forum.

    Forum Guidelines

    1. Please mark resolved problems "SOLVED"

    2. Don't quote whole posts -- it's just clutter. A mod or admin may edit or remove unnecessary quotations.

    3. We won't do your homework for you, but we will help guide you

    4. Don't put your email address in a post unless you're dying for more spam in your inbox.

    5. Don't post personal or confidential data in a workbook. If you inadvertently do, then send a message to the moderators / admins to have the data immediately and permanently deleted. Include a link to the post in the message.

    6. No more that three links to other URLs are allowed in a single post. Be careful, multiple attempts to post with more than three links may lock your IP.
