Send me the document within the next few minutes and I'll have a look. If that's not possible, try "bisection": remove half of the do until the error no more occurs, and then add back/remove until you found the problematic place. Also, try View->Source, and search for '&' and check whether the ones you find seem to make sense. Andre'
