Sorry for not getting back to you on Friday @cadman777. I tried to respond at least a dozen times on Friday, but it would never finish going through, because I kept continually getting signed out of my account on the forums.
It was extremely frustrating, and I tried all sorts of things, including closing and restarting my browser, but it seemed like it wouldn't maintain my 'signed-in' status past a single new tab, or tab refresh, of clicking through a link or two. I eventually just had to give up.
(I'm still having some less severe issues like this today.)
After hearing your confusion about my last post, I wanted to immediately explain in much more detail, and had a mostly rewritten version of your whole code to post this time, instead of just a small snippet, but as I said above, it just wouldn't make it through the response process. I have experienced similar episodes before here on the forums too, but I still have no idea what causes it to happen.
I'm glad to hear that you eventually got the code working the way you intended though.
Some of those code snippets that are defined within iLogic only, for working with the iProperties & parameters, can provide a 'shortcut' method of doing some things, and area great for some of the simpler scenarios. However, I've grown to be very cautious about using them in most other more complex scenarios, in favor of doing things the normal (longer) route. Any time I can supply an already defined document variable for a method (Sub or Function) to target/affect, I greatly prefer this and know it will be more stable in the long run, verses a method that just always points to whichever document just happens to be 'active' at that moment.
