Thanks Kent, it is working now. Is this what you meant in your reply? Because if I set up the main code at the end of the script I was still getting an error message.

Also, what do I need to use if for example I want my code to rerun once I have computed let's say a volume. Right now the execution of the script gives me "None" at the end.

Thanks
JC
