No problem benton, when I get a bit of time tomorrow I will upload a new workbook with an option to delete the place bets - do you also want to get rid of the trot & pace races as well?

Looking back it wasn't that long ago I knew naff all about Excel & got a great deal of help from the Excel For Dummies book which I can highly recommend to get you going. Once that's under your belt then Excel VBA For Dummies is also a must read.
