Yep...that's exactly what I did...called method 1 and then method 2. Now that I think about it, I may not have had that exact situation arise before. I have copied &pasted many a method in order to build a new one (leaving the return var the same as the copied method by accident). In those cases I did get a "not defined" error because I only called the new method (thus the return var would not exist as it did in my example today). Well I've learned my new thing for today...I'm done ;-) Thanks all!! Boy I'm slipping...I've had staff doing most of the development work around here the past year...tisk tisk on me ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
