Hey all, Just a notice, I'm quitting work on this program, too complicated for me to work out, I'm getting lost now and can't figure out the bugs anymore. I think for know I'll work on my Giant Calculator application, which I'll show the code when it's done. If anyone is interested in finishing it, just give me a shout, and I'll send it to you as a ZIP file.

The problem here is that you have only ever assigned anything to sitelist within the body of your various functions. So, the name doesn't 'have meaning' at the global level. I see from the code I sniped that you dealt with the last problem by removing the spurious arguments from the function definition. But I also notice you left them in in other functions with exactly the same problem. I suggest you go through your functions and verify, for each of your arguments, that you are actually using them. Once done that, go through and check that any assignments made within functions are propagated out of them if they are needed in body code. (That was the point of the top_level_name = name_keeper() example I gave.
