I'd love to go to Cuba someday. And the thing that bugs me most about MS is Excel, which is an otherwise truly great program..but you can type something in and it overrides you and I have never been able to make it just not do that..because sometimes you can't get back what you originally typed in..it is mostly around dates turning to numbers or vise versa and if you haven't set the format cells thing up front you can be in trouble...mg
