It would be helpful if you could provide a small test-script you run (not more than 10 to 20 lines) and two small (!) excel-files from Mac and Windows (maybe even pack them before mailing out). Then send then over the list, so we can all have a closer look on the differences. PS: If the files are "larger" please put them on a webspace and only provide a link in your email to the list ... however I guess nobody will worry about a few kb attachment ... Regards, Stefan
