Hi everyone,
Jay offered me the following code to help with something. I don't undertand
it, but tried to use it anyway to see if it would work. The computer told me
there was a syntax error in the area I highlighted in color. I can't find it
- maybe that's because I don't understand the code fully, but if anyone can
show me where it is I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Fred Kittelmann
