Many thanks - very useful. In the end, I gave up trying to get the original
installation working and went back to a system configuration before I had
installed even the beta vrsion of Excel 2007, then uninstalled all Office
programs, clkeaned out the registry, and did a full install of Office 2007
Professional. That worked but your solution wouldhave been so much easier!
Thanks again and bestwishes, Boris.
