Hi Harry, Glad Charles got you squared away. I have to say it again, though--you will make much more progress by focusing on a plain-language description of what you are trying to accomplish, than by thinking in code. Or, if you must express your ideas directly in code, run them in the command line compiler first, to get the immediately available sanity check, before posting. The problem with saying "I want to do something like this..." then showing guesswork code, is that the code you showed already does whatever it does, or nothing at all if sytax errors preclude compilation. How do we know, by looking at code alone, whether the effect, if any, achieved by the code, is the effect desired? Did you notice how quickly the issue resolved once Charles figured out what you wanted--in words?
