As near as I can tell, you can't link >spreadsheets at all in Wingz. It may not be exactly what you want, but any expression may refer to the value of a cell in any other open spreadsheet, so that "Sales:C20" is that cell in the sheet named Sales. The catch is that the other sheets have to be open at the same time; Wingz won't go get them. But if a group was always used together you could start work by dragging a Finder rectangle around them and double-clicking... >The other thing is that some of my spreadsheets are HUGE.

I can't see a way to do that in Wingz. Again it's not exactly the same thing, but you can open multiple windows onto any sheet and drag and resize them, so you could open a window showing just column heads and then overlap it with a window in which you scroll to the detail rows. (And other windows on other sections of your HUGE sheet, in sizes & shapes as you want...) /////// / ////// // David Cortesi Disclaimer: I work on //// / /// Informix Software databases, I don't know /// / //// Menlo Park, CA USA anything about spreadsheets! // / ///// infmx!cortesi Mac?
