This highlights the main reason to learn how to write your own stuff.

Then your app can be obscure or old as the hills, and you can still get it to do what you need.

I used to see this problem regularly with people using "inherited" code.

You are so right ,

I may have to start looking at a VBA for Dummies course .

Thanks To everyone who replied

      Carli,  Retxx might be able to open it and use in oen office or possilly google docs either would keep the marcos , instead of downloading he could use the file in either place but you would need to upload to google docs.

      He may not bring to to it,

      But he will bring you through it!

        Thank You susscs

        I honestly wasnt aware that google docs allowed macros, thats good to know.

        Another helpful Lper did Pm me a code solution, so for now at least Rettx is back is business .

        I do appreciate everyones input and advice .

        This was my first attempt at using a macro in a sheet I posted and I should have understood it myself before posting it.

         

        Thank You All

          @retxx

          I suggest that you buy a new computer, when a good version of Windows 8 comes out and the newer version of MS Office.
          Also you might get a few evening classes of VBA Excel to get a kick start. Teachers can answer questions, books can only be read.

            How true, I'm still adding new features to my old GWBasic programs.  Now the only problem I will eventually have they won't run on the newer machines once my XP machines stop working.  I just wished I had invested in a better XP laptop.

              RJOH  if you can program in GWBasic you can use VBA.  just a few differences and you are there.  I used to do everything in GWBasic, had a little problem with some simple things at first. fellow LP'ers helped.  VBA is easier than GWbasic, 80% or more of the syntax is the same.  getting information in and out is different, but easier once you understand it, and it will work with any version of windows.

                      I bought a copy of VB6 some years ago but never got around to learning enough to use it.  Before then I bought a Quick Basic compiler and was learning QB until I learn the QB compiler could compile GWBasic programs.  Even downloaded a copy of JustBasic with its tutorial and thought if I learned it I might buy a copy of Liberty Basic which seems closer to GWBasic than VB.  At my age, it's just easier to go with what I already know until I have to learn a new way to do the same thing.

                            Wow, Im so glad She / He was able to resolve it for you .. The only reason I put the extra buttons  2 3 4 etc was if you wanted to do maybe the previous draw also

                            or if you wanted to look up the different permutations like , 123  132  231 213  etc .

                            Where did I get the tiers, you asked ?  By using the Deflate tool on Lottery Post
