Re: Help! lost in the parts tree

Hi AC,



Can you repost the parts helper again please? It's no longer on the link below and I'd like to get it again. Alternatively (or also)please send direct to snipped-for-privacy@aol.com



Thanks in advance.

Thanks to Wayne Tiffany, who took time to test it and email with suggestions, help and most importantly encouragement, it has undergone some improvements and while there are still a few minor issues (and some things on the wish list) it is now more robust.

Any and all feedback and suggestions welcomed.

I've got that working and it's pretty good! Is there anything similar for showing hidden parts as well?

That would be a good idea to make it do both hidden and suppressed. I'll add that to the list for when I get some time.

For now, as it was a simple change I've posted a separate macro for hidden parts.
