Hi,
I have a Mac IIci 8/80 with 7.01* and am using Excel 3.0
and have got a very strange thing happening. 
I wanted to paste in a daily appointment list I have into a database,
and extract all appointments for a day, then email them off---The appointments
come from Easy Alarms, and I was going to script the whole thing, so it would
run by itself some time in the morning. 

I kept getting Extract Range Not Valid errors. So I hand typed in some
bogus fields and it worked. It seems that if I paste anything from 
that Teachtext document into the first two rows, records whatever, of my 
Database range, this happens. 

(I guess since 4.0 is out, bug complaints are pretty worthless, but
it is nonetheless annoying)

Is this fixed in 4.0?
