I think both methods will work. I was having problems with dgLine as well so I found that dgIndexes returns the indexes in the order that they were displayed. So itemOffset is essentially returning dgLine.
I am not sure that you can assume that dgIndex of me = 1 is equivalent to dgLine of me = 1. So I think the line: If the dgindex of me = 1 then needs to be: If myPosition of me = 1 then or if the dgLine of me = 1 then What is the procedure to cut and paste a script into email? On my initial email I tried to paste the script below and it go rejected because it was too large. It did remain colorized so I assumed that it was all of the html tags that push it over the limit of the list. BTW thanks for all of the help folks. -= Mike On 2011-11-07, at 7:56 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > ah, I betcha I know what it is.
