Set otbl = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Table
If otbl Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Select a table", vbCritical

If Not IsNumeric(lngM) Then Exit Sub
If lngM < 1 Or lngM > 12 Then Exit Sub

' Find day of week for 1st of month

' Find number of days in month
lngDayCNT = Day(DateSerial(lngY, lngM + 1, 1) - 1)
' find day of week for last day
lastDay = lngDayCNT + firstDay - 1
'add only used days to array
For L = firstDay To lastDay
lngDay = lngDay + 1
rayDays(L) = lngDay
Next L
' fill in Table omit header row

For LR = 2 To 7

otbl.Cell(LR, LC).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange = CStr(rayDays(X))
otbl.Cell(LR, LC).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 10
