Revolution calculates the start and end values only at the beginning of the loop. So while from a coding-style standpoint it's still a good idea, programatically it's no problem.

I think of it in just the opposite way: isn't it great that Revolution provides this _free_ tool for people to use? regards, Geoff _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
