Thanks James, I understand they should have both failed, that's the issue I am trying to sort out. I don't believe any #raw statements are present but I'll take a look tomorrow. Once I handed it over, the guy ran with it and is a huge fan as am I. So hardy thanks to all the contributors.
When I commented everything out of the snippet with a "$" things worked as expected. But again, it should have failed on both levels. Very odd indeed. An errant #raw would make sense though so I'll pour though the previous snippets to make sure something else isn't out of whack.
