'E' is a defined CALC variable. Unless you're planning on using natural logs, don't use E. Try a 'Z' or something.

Any one care to guess what Tango has done to compare these two strings equal? I'd hate to run into this one again! ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
