I assume that you're M, but what the heck, I'd like to kiss you.

I am a real novice with this stuff and I had been working on it from
02h30 to 07h30 when it all went pear shaped, so you can imagine that
I was a bit "miffed".

Can you recommend/point me in the direction of an idiots guide to VBA,
so that i can try and figure some of this stuff out myself?
