Let's say you have both Book1.xls and Book2.xls open at the same time In Book2.xls, in any sheet, you could link it by placing in any startcell, say in B2: =IF([Book1.xls]Sheet1!A1="","",[Book1.xls]Sheet1!A1) Then just copy B2 across/fill down to cover the desired linked source range in Book1.xls' Sheet1 Note that the relatively simple-looking link formula above will auto-adjust to include the drive/directory/path once you close Book1.xls, which can (and usually does) appear hideously long & frightening. Hence its always much easier to frame the links up with both source and destination books simultaneously open. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:27,000 Files:200 Subscribers:70 xdemechanik ---
