Hi Mark,
That was my very first go at it and it always returns the total count of
all Company tiddlers when there should be only anywhere from 4 to 111
depending on the decade chosen. The total number is well over 1000. I even
tried it with the square brackets while setting the value.
That code I pasted was a copy and paste problem while I was in transition.
Sorry about that.
Damon
