Beauford,

I did not mean to assume anything that I should not have (from your reply, I
think you took it this way).  After looking at Chris's response, I am
certain that he caught what I did not see (the missing closing bracket).
After not seeing that item, I then looked deeper into what else could have
caused your problem.  Luckily, you solved it already.

Thanks,
Keith D Sellars
