--- Comment #13 from Jack Mathis <[email protected]> ---
I don't know why there isn't any macro in the file that I uploaded, as it is in
my file.  Perhaps it got stripped out somehow?  Anyway the macro shown in
comment 6 is precisely what my macro shows.

I haven't tried un-remarking the goal seek dialog line, as I feel the having to
enter the dialog every time I run the macro kind of defeats the purpose of the
macro.

I'm also baffled as to why a dispatch statement is left in the macro, even
though it does nothing.  Why not Rem that out also, so the user can tell that
the macro isn't going to do anything.  Better yet, stick in a flag that
indicates that you have done something that isn't supported.

It isn't that using the mouse messes things up, as you can record the macro
using only key strokes. (tedious, but doable)  Also, if you use the mouse to
click on the next cell instead of using the arrow key, that part works,
although it produces a slightly different macro.  Further, the fact that the
goal seek statement is in the macro reflects the fact that the recorder has
recognized that I've gone up to the tools menu and selected the "Goal Seek"
command (with the mouse).  The problem is simply that the recording system is
not recording the dialog, as was stated very clearly in comment 11.

I have managed to find some documentation and an example of code using goal
seek, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.  I feel I can probably work
around this issue.  Many thanks to the references in the comments, which led me
in the right direction.

Finally, it would seem that some improvement in the documentation of the macro
limitations would be helpful.

Thanks again to all.  Jack
