Thanks Bonnie and Kevin, but Iwas finally able to get it working. It indeed was the fully qualifying name when referencing the structure.

>Forget my last reply ... you can't specify static for struct. Your code looks good, nothing obvious jumps out at me ... it should be working. I thought maybe the struct wouldn't work correctly in the watch window (as some things don't), but that's not the case ... I tried it, it's fine. Are you fully qualifying the struct when you view it in the watch window?
