Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. At this point I am willing to listen to whatever ideas are out there.

Skip, I tried out you idea and it works, unfortunately in my situation, I have to have it laid out the way I had it in the orginal post. I have names going down with a column for start and end times for Sunday - Saturday. I am duplicating what a company is using right now, only it is a paper...
