Same Result. I tried running the code in a separate program with the same results.

Solved the problem late last night, though. Seems like the ON ERROR handler was causing some kind of problem. When we issue ON ERROR prior to running this loop and then turn ON ERROR &lcOnError, the code runs perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestion......
