Thank you very much, I have one more question: what is the purpose of 9E+307 / -9E+307.
Sorry for the ignorant question but I always try to understand why something is done.
Thank you again. -

Thank you, that solved the problem.
One more question:
What code can I add for a message box to open for input of a new folder name?
This new folder must then be created automatically and the new workbooks stored in this new folder.I have gone through a lot of the previous posts but can not seem to find something.

Thank you, it works great. May I ask another question out of ignorance?
I first pasted the code in a Module, which did not work.
I then clicked on the the Sheet name on the VB sheet and pasted the code in the space opened on the right hand side. Is the the sheet module as mentioned by you? What is the difference between this and the modules that appear as a seperate list after the work sheet names?
Greatfull if you can enlighten me?
My dank aan jou, in my opinie een van die groot Excel meesters.

Your remark on unable to choose anything from the drop down box promps another question.
Why does this happen, every body in my office who use the protected versions from any of my sheets are able to choose options from the drop down boxes.
Are different versions from Excel not compatible? Or some other reason?

AskWoody LoungerSorry Hans

Thank you for the reply
I attach a workbook to explain. In the workbook there are a few sheets with a “2” in the sheet name. On the General Info sheet is a drop down box with the name Order Value. If you choose the first choice all the sheets with a “2” in the name must be hidden. Any other choice should show all the sheets.
Hope this helps.

AskWoody LoungerAt this moment there are 32, but it is not always the same. 50 should be the maximum.
You are correct, it will be done at least once a month with a maximum of about 3 times per month.
Thank you
