I have had the same with other names that begin with Z. To get round it I entered the name without the Z, uploaded it and then edited the Z back in. Anyone got a better idea?

As soon as I enter the Z the error message says 'Run-Time error 9: Subscript out of range' and the program closes. Any suggestions what to do? I seem to recall this being mentioned but can't find the solution. -- Philip Powell Looking north across the Derwent Valley and Northumberland to The Cheviot
