Oops. Sent this to omega list again by accident. Sorry about that, folks.
Hi, Paul.
The solution turned out to be just to open Excel (the program) twice and
load each spreadsheet into its own separate invocation of Excel. Since I
did that, there's been no further conflict between the two spreadsheets.
Thanks for your help in getting this debugged.
Regards,
Ullrich
