I am sorry you have chosen to interpret my response as unfriendly. I do not expect you or anyone posting here to be an expert before posting. However, the context here is that you have to read our responses anyway, so both Pat and I have recommended higher-quality reading material than we can write off the cuff. If you do read the recommended materials, you will be able to communicate in this forum effectively. If you do not, we will be guessing at problems we cannot know clearly about unless you tell us about them. You also need to read the Posting Guide to know what is on topic here, and what is not. When you start generating a lot of inputs to a function and getting errors then you may need to learn more about the theory behind that function... and this is not really the right place for that. So, please read the recommended materials and think about them before posting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... Go Live...
