Will someone help me with a little bit more code to the above useful
"InsertRowsAndFillFormulas" macro so that the specified number of rows are
inserted in both sheet(2) and sheet(5). The prompt for number of rows should
appear only once.

Using the code on Dave McRitchie's web site (FYI, there's no "I" at the end
of the address, it's "Excel.htm"), here's the adjusted code. You must first
select the two worksheets so that they are grouped. [Click on the tab for
sheet(2), highlighting it, then hold down the Ctrl key and click on the tab
for sheet(5). At this point, the tabs for both sheet(2) AND sheet(5) should
be highlighted]. Then run the macro.

Thanks Gary,
Going through the selected sheets was going to be my choice
but then I thought I'd try to find out why it didn't work. The
selections of the entire row to start with gets made on all
sheets but not the inserting rows.

I was looking at this macro and some other existing macros
with grouped sheets and some freshly recorded macros with
grouped sheets, very little difference, yet mine don't
work with grouped sheets and the newly recorded ones did.

So there is probably a simpler solution around. This macro
inserts rows below the selection and the ones I recorded to
it in the conventional Excel manner above.

There is a problem with the code, in that when the macro
ends, only one sheet is selected. I can't figure out how
to put the selected sheets into an array to be restored
at the end. David McRitchie

Here is a correction that reselects the original selection
of sheets. David McRitchie
