Hi everyone, Jay offered me the following code to help with something. I don't undertand it, but tried to use it anyway to see if it would work. The computer told me there was a syntax error in the area I highlighted in color. I can't find it - maybe that's because I don't understand the code fully, but if anyone can show me where it is I'd be grateful. Thanks, Fred Kittelmann
