OK!

I have some trouble figuring out here what and when it saves the changes. In which order did you do stuff here? I've got it to save the changes but I can't realy figure out what triggers it 😃. Is it that something changes in Excel VBA layout that triggers Outlook VBA editor to save it's layout?

Hi Mikael

I don't recall the exact order I made the changes, but I think I did the Outlook VAB Editor settings before those in Excel. I was just trying various permutations to get what I wanted. I think saving the changes happened automatically when I closed Outlook and Excel, but I really don't remember - sorry! :-(

    No worries. I tried back and forth to see the logic, though I had it because I managed once or twice to get it to remember my layout ðŸĪŠ. Feel like "Captain Slow" not finding the pattern here... Good enough, I now have a decent layout, I'll live with that.

    Thank you for exercising the 🧠-wrinkles anyhow.

    For giggles I could try the feedback wizard in Office to send them a reminder that this is not working.
