Re: Passing by reference question.

Hello Aziz; Thank you so much for your help. That seemed to solve the issue. I don't use stackoverflow.com any more. I was boot off for questionable and undefined reasons. I have also had strange difficulties with their interface processing code altering code I had posted for reference before that. I would have included source code but the amount of the code I would have to post would be excessive.
