Thanks Wildcat, you may be right about what the problem may be, missing a bracket is certainly a possiblility, and your also right about it not being a quick fix (unfortunately).

When the engine displays the error...would it be possible the (first) function it gives the error on the one missing the bracket...or is that too much to hope for?

Well, I have some hunting to do, thanks for your suggestion about the "testme" function also.

Regards.
