Well, I left it running all night, and, I'm afraid is was a fiasco. Perhaps there's a bug in the code up there -- oh, what if the cell I'm transferring is empty? I suppose I could have tested for that.

On the other hand, it did successfully transfer some empty cells.

What happened was what I thought I was seeing. Occasionally, the export was of the whole table instead of the source cell, so the target cell was filled with a copy of the complete table as it was at that point in time. This happened about two or three times (I kept the result if anyone's interested), and then the whole thing ground to a halt with only a couple of page completed.

So now I'm trying copy and paste. It too has stopped. Ah, it's definitely unhappy at trying to copy empty cells, so I'll test for that and skip over them (it would be a null action, anyway because the target is already empty by definition.

OK, not only working like a charm, but I can see it happening.

Dave
