I have found that it is usually "Error 1". That's what I put in the Find thingy to look for IF it is not real close by. I generally go up a few lines and then start my copy and paste. I can't count how many times I have searched for a problem and run into paste bin links that no longer work. It is really aggravating when you think you found something and it turns out it has disappeared. Dale :-) :-)
