I will download PowerTools and give it a spin. There are a number of functions I would like to see, and this would be a good vehicle.

Without researching it, I recall that any of the VBA IDE methods of trying to get to the code on an mde will fail, too. Microsoft has the code in an mde pretty well locked up, but I hear it's not impossible to reconstruct. -Ken
