Thanks all for your valuable replies; There was a typo in the FM
developper's layout, thus my wondering about another way of getting the
cellValue... In the meantime I got the correct name and needed no more
workaround. And I now have also learnt a newbie trick (after four years of
on-and-off scripting) with the Browse button thing.
Best to all,
J.
