Arnold,

After reading the (minimal) Help on the subject, it seems that the only *possible* problem you could have with this is that you are mis-specifying the element#. Keep in mind that an "element#" is different than a "subscript". I would guess that in your case the element# should always be an odd numbered value.

There is, of course, the possibility that the property is malfunctioning.

good luck,
Jim N
