A problem might be support from the PE libraries. QPtr is fixed I hear, but if it isn't already supported/prepared to be supported by EasyMenu/EasyPtr in some way I don't think I have the mental strength to add it :mrgreen:
I tend to agree, Marcel. It's a documented feature after all, even if it's not worked as it should for some time.

Easymenu/Easyptr - sounds like that's driven you into premature old age, Marcel :twisted: :D

Thank you Dilwyn for your agreement. If the feature reaches the get ready state one day, I may supply some user guide notes and sample examples, avoiding Norman doing the penible work ;)
I think indexes may be more useful even outside spreedsheets area for all sort of tables specially when scrolled. Also, it opens the way for more (easily) enhancements like selecting a whole column/row or reordering table. Just a thought.

I don't think I have ever successfully used the indexes, but I think I can see how useful they might be. As Marcel says, it would be helpful if we find that software such as Easyptr successfully supports it already with a WMAN where it works.
