Ok, obviously it would make a difference. What I was trying to say (but glossing-over) was that the error was not with the general approach, because the other similar routines work fine. It was with the specifics of the this example, where I had presumably mis-typed something or had made a syntactical mistake. When I recreated the code from scratch (using the same knowledge and approach) it worked.

Going by your example (thanks, btw), I can only assume that the problem was a similar mismatch between the parameters object and the procedure call.

Thanks
