RoI because:-
a) Whatever address you punch in, the Irish sat-nav responds "I wouldn't start from here if I were you"
b) Whatever address you punch in, the Irish sat-nav responds "Are you sure you don't want to go to Dun Loaghaire?" and if you click "No" it responds "That's a pity - I know the way to Dun Loaghaire".
c) At any 100 year WWI commemorations in Flanders you can smugly state "It is precisely 784.2 km to Tipperary which, I suppose, does qualify as a long way"

And I thought that was only Devonians who said that.

But that's their business model, so I almost get it. Almost.
It would cost me €229 for a recent navigation dvd for my car though, and that's just bullshit.

Depends on the costs: Ordinance Survey[^] charge by the map (and that's town-by-town data) so if they aren't going to sell many, then they charge accordingly. And they won't sell many (because it's now free with Android) except in cars where the equipment can't be easily changed, so they up the costs again (and probably have to provide a cut to the car manufacturer, or vice versa, which ups the price yet again.) Ain't rampant capitalism wonderful?

I'd pirate the thing but the newest version on "the bay" is from 2010.

I used to work for them in Amsterdam. The bottom has fallen out of their industry thanks to google maps, if they didn't charge for the map data there'd be nothing left.

Does any body knows how i can get the WorkSheet in WorkBook1 and put it in Worksheet2 of Workbook2 by clickling a bottom?
I feel sure that you would get the sack for that.

I'm on my way to get to the bottom of this...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I think you need to handle the bottom_click event for that...

Appears to be too easy for any Q poster to become the butt of many jokes.

By clicking a button, i don't know.
I however know how to achieve the same by pressing an Arrow Key

I'm sure the answer has something to do with inserting an index, lets hope it isnt an finger however

And here I thought people only spank that sh*t
Although clicking on a bottom does sound like a link to very special sites restricted for certain age groups

Well, if you pinch your secretary's bottom maybe she'll do it for you.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

She may also just slap you silly. It's sad how times are changing. Just 20 years ago, something like that was perfectly socially acceptable (just look at Boris Yeltsin), but now... What IS the world coming to? Things are going all wrong, I tell you.
Speaking of Yeltsin: I've been trying to locate the video of him pinching his secretary's ass in a televised conference in full view of the entire world's population, but I haven't been able to find it. Does anybody out there have a link. It was SO funny, so I'd really like to see it again...

I doubt the women getting their bottoms pinched thought it was "perfectly socially acceptable"

Oddly I bought a 3kg bag of UNF fixings with the same warning.
