    Ok, it may well be my display, I have it on "Large Fonts" & Large Size (120DPI), as my old eyes are not so good at short reading distance these days (but I can see for miles :D). This does give some problems on Websites and some windows/boxes.

    If I understand the use of the 2 columns then, are you meant to read columns 1 & 2 across as each row? This is why there are duplications in column 2, for each combination with column 1?

    I have to go out for an hour or so now, so I'll try the VBA sizing later.

    Yes Les, read across for the two channel combination. You got such a lot of options because you chose 2 channels each with regional options.

    Right, I'm with it now :o I'm having a "thick" day.

    I transferred it from my small laptop to my wife's desktop with 19" screen, which I can see :D . The instructional text on the new window comes up in full.

    Yes, if I choose a fairly limiting combination, I can see that it is a one to one relationship between the first two boxes, and selection in the first box changes Channels Viewable in the third.

    But, if you stick with what I tried at first with BBC1 & BBC2, even on the 19" display, you get 16 sets (I think I counted correctly) of BBC1 variants to try in box 1, all selectable and fully scrollable with a draggable scrollbar on the right of the box. Recording Two box "looks" scrollable, but the scrollbar doesn't do anything. So, you only get to see 2 full sets of BBC2 (102 & 968), and 2 rows of 969. So, on my 19" screen, the last combination you can get to try is 951 BBC 1 CI with 969 BBC 2 NI.

    I agree that this is pretty obscure, in that there is so much choice in this situation, but do you understand my explanation now?

    Rgds.

    Hi Les

    I see the problem, list2 does not scroll with list1. Hot on the heels of a solution. :D

    Based on your choice I have just tried selecting 2 different BBC regions, it bombed out at over 16000 permutations :eek:

    Perhaps it's a good thing there is only a max of 2 ITV regions :D

    Yes, selecting two different BBC1 variations, it just crashes/hangs.

    If you wait long enough it eventually comes up with an overflow error. By my reckoning it should come up with 324 options. Looking into it.

    Major upgrade to dual cable functionality.

    http://www.4shared.com/file/98838419...dCheck009.html

    Suggestions button now labelled "Watch All Suggestions" as before indicates where a regional channel change will enable full time shift access to all channels.

    Second button "Alternate Watch Options" identifies for all alternate recording options what channels will be viewable.

    Bug that crashes app if 2 bbc 1 regions are selected and watch all suggestions fixed

    Yes, thanks.

    BTW, the link in your original quoted message is the broken one, the link in post #81 works.

    Rgds.

    Thanks Les

    Next option on the agenda, "Can I Watch".

    Having selected 2 channels to record, lets you select a channel you want to watch. Checks alternate options to see if it's possible if so identifies alternate channel to record.

    Ooh, nice, very user friendly, and will then be nearly idiot-proof (me) lol. :D:D:D

    Thx.

    Version010 now available.

    Additional option on both dual and single cables.

    Having selected 2 recordings you can ask if a specific channel can be viewed by choosing an alternate BBC1, ITV1 or BBC2 region

    http://www.4shared.com/file/100049920/76f10414/_2__FoxsatRecordCheck010.html


    Thanks to Savvy for giving the dual cable option a run round the block :D

    If it's your own computer there will be an option somewhere to allow the macro to run. If you post your OS I am someone will know how. There's no viruses honest to god :D

    The option is in Excel itself.

    In Excel 2003, it's under Tools | Macro | Security.

    Change to Medium Security Level, and it will then ask you each time if you want to run Macros; obviously say yes to allow Graham's application. This is safer than Low, which will run all macros, even those you don't know :eek:

    HTH.

    Thanks Les. I think I misunderstood the posting assumimg the message was somehow derivved from an external windows security setting or programme rather than Excel itself

    If you are using Excel 2007 (not sure about other versions) there is another option available. From within Excel, you can specify a particular folder on your PC as being trusted. Any excel file containing macros opened from that directory will open seemlessly.

    You can actually specify more than one folder as being trusted, but what I do is to have a single folder in which I store all Excel files with macros that I trust. I then create shortcuts to the files in the (untrusted) folders that I would have stored them in if it wasn't for the macros.
