Hi Jim:

I saw one of your threads on this, and I tried it, but still it seems the scope of the Global Object was not truly PUBLIC unless I declared it so...I'm going to give it another try because I agree it should work...thanks !

My point is that the major problem with PUBLIC is that people use it when they don't need it. Your example does not need a public at all (if it has a READ EVENTS in it).
