I maaaay have an answer to this. I'm testing it now. I got to a lot of
this code by recording.. don't we all :-)

So.. I thought maybe some of that is screwing up. So far I've had
succsess in removing the line from the recorded stuff that reads
"Application.CutCopyMode = False".

I've trimmed this post because of it's size... the code is in a
previous post.

As I said I'm still testing but I think that's it but I will get back
and say for def.
Curiously enough... at site
msdn.microsoft.com/.../vbaxl
11/html/xlproCutCopyMode1_HV05200342.asp

I see there are 2 values TRUE and FALSE for CutCopyMode.
Guess what they say...

False Cancels Cut or Copy mode and removes the moving border.
True Cancels Cut or Copy mode and removes the moving border.
