I will digest this and hopefully move on. The "RUN" I was referring to is in fact the button on the IDE toolbar. I di= d not try the RESET, but I will. "OUT OF SCOPE" is correct; the comment had it right. From what I read, declaring the variable at POSITION A (at the start of the= scope block) will fix me up. Again, thanks. Your advice and experience is much appreciated. I have been reading you all's comments for years; it is a pleasure to make a more formal acquaintance.
