Thanks for the function. I don't think that my function is the problem at all.. I've just completed a test where I bypassed my file list and ran it several hundred times and my function never caused any problems.... I think I have a fundamental problem with the function I disabled to get it to work... maybe I am not cleaning up or resetting the way I should be. I'm going to post that function with a separate title to make it clear it's a new topic
