Ross, Thank you very much for your answer. I will get a debugger to see the possible errors that my code has.
I'm also thinking that it is a bug in v2, I mean the code is so simple and it's crashing for no reason!!, so if somebody has experience with this please put your comments. I need to show diffenent color bars for different variables, so I don't know if that is the best way to do it, but I'll think about it. Thanks again Ross, I'll let you know if I'm able to solve the problem.
