I would be interested in the details if you get Abyss and AHTML to work as I’d like to try it at home too. I’ve downloaded / installed them both and they seem to be working but still can’t get Visual Studio to use them. I’m using a VB.Net book and working my way through the database sections. They launched into a really interesting section on writing ASP apps but I can’t get past the New Project box!
Thank you.

Yes, I expect you’re right, it seems to make sense doesn’t it.
The thing about the Works suite is that it comes with a lot of useful software – specifically a route planning application and Microsoft Money – both of which I use a lot – sorry that was not what I said the first time – I’d forgotten these two came with Works and not separately. What I have is probably officially called the Works Suite or something – 7 CDs of it!
I think (don’t quote me) that I could not exclude Word when I (re) installed Works the last time and I needed the rest of it so I took the lot.
But, it’s now 07:00 pm on a Friday night so I’m going to go home and have another go at a reinstall tomorrow. I’ll let you know if it works any better then.
Thanks

Thanks, I’d already done that and put it on the toolbar in a button.
I suppose I was hoping for some “miracle” way of making Excel use the fast speed as a default instead of using code to change it.
You see, the “problem” sheets are all set to a printquality of -4 which seems to be an invalid number. I say it’s invalid because if you try and set a sheet to it using code it gives an error. So, if it’s invalid why does Excel change the resolution to highest quality instead of default quality? Even if I change a sheet to highest quality using the menus the printquality returns 1200 – not -4.
Oh well, I took the opportunity to make it change all page sizes back to A4 (UK printers) as well so that’s two manual steps I’ve done on one button! My code also iterates through all worksheets in the active workbook while it’s at it..
