Hi Andrew,

Just downloaded your collection of macros, and tried to run the one
under Testing to change the picklistsize. I get the error message at
the macro command to actually do the change, saying "Argument not
optional", referring to nSize I guess. How / where do I set this
value??  I want to set it to 8.

TIA,  Howard
