Yoyr “for” has no “do”, but is followed by an “if”.

BTW, when you are needing help with programming/scripting, there is a special sub-forum for it.

[LEFT]1. Metz’s law - you see what you expect to see; that’s what’s nice about a fresh pair of eyes. In this case, two blocks of code with the “identical” structure were different; one did have the do.

  1. What is the forum for questions related to scripts? Thanks.[/LEFT]

Oh yes, that is very true. We humans are very good in seeing what we think we should see. Computers are stupid anough to only see what is there.:slight_smile:

From the main page: Development. And then the top most Programming/Scripting.
