Well, your code indeed works fine.

And, I've gone back to my own code, and now I cannot get it to repeat the results I was getting last night.

I *KNOW* for sure that is was not working correctly, but today I cannot replicate it.

However, I still am resolved that I like my modified coding sequece anyway, so I'm still going to abandon the Return DoDefault() structure going forard.
