I could pretty much understand what was happening when I saw it happen but it just surprised me that it worked that way. I'm sure I have read that method parameters are local variables in that method. Either that is not quite right or I have misinterpreted what that means. Apparently, the latter. I need to read up on this. Anyway, thanks again. Harry
