What is the error message? Did you change "myname" to your name?

i did nothing....and its giving invalid outside procedure

That line needs to be inside a Sub or Function. Is it?

can you help me to make this code work.
it need lots of things and the writer has not provided any legends which confuse me.

Please don't bump your threads.
