Thanks for the Kudos!
In a new workbook, there isn't a default for having a workbood with a "standard"
module.
So, when you first open VBA, it'll be in a Sheet module.
After that, if you create a standard module, then it will open in whatever
module you were in when you saved it (sometimes)
I always have the Project Explorer open on the side panel,
and I always rename the module to be more descriptive.
Like: rename Module1 to Declarations
the rest I always call something like: Mod_Connect, Mod_Formatting
Glad to be of service...

Paul,
You have slain the evil genie and your reward should be riches beyond counting,
the Nobel Prize in Computer Science, or beautiful women fawning over you, but
you'll have to settle for my most sincere thanks.
I have usually opened Excel, and then used Alt+F11 to open VBA. I now see when
you do that you get the sheet module for the open sheet.What is the easiest way
to get the module for the workbook?
Thanks again,
Michael Trombetta
