The odd thing to me is no duplicate first names Why?

All slow methods relatively, plus Excel8? A 2 second Sleep? Slowing down after 500 odd reports? Might be due to poor coding, old vba version. hardware issues. Wouldn’t like to speculate beyond the addition of the sleep simply masks the issue

Ok - so how long is More than 10mins to produce 300 workboooks?

No need to open the query, transferspreadsheet does that anyway Not clear if the requirement is for 300 x 10 sheet workbooks or one workbook with 10 sheets x 300 rows. If the former my method would probably take around 10 minutes, the latter around 15 seconds

Perhaps use “01 Jan “ & me.currYr Not sure why you are using strings for dates or why you don’t just insert it rather than update after insert

Apparently the minerals exist in Ukraine and to some extent in the area currently held by the Russian invasion. Not saying the minerals can be economically extracted. Seems to me trump wants a share (do these minerals exist in the USA? I don’t know) which he either gets by negotiating with...

So after 1-1 1/2 years of your neighbour moving the boundary line on to your plot you would do what?

Use a crosstab query? Or look at the concatrelated function http://allenbrowne.com/func-concat.html Be aware the function will only return 255 chars so if your dates are say 10 chars plus a comma you will be limited to 23 dates

I presume this is a typo?
