That's what I was doing originally. Sometimes it works, sometimes it says "not a character expression". It was really wierd. Using the exact same code in the command window, I would hit enter on the line one time and it would work, do it again, and it would error. With nothing else changing. At any rate, EXECSCRIPT did the trick for me and it's working. :)

Thanks,
