Where is your attempt to "translate" to Python, exactly ? So far, except for the first 2 lines, it's vb code, not Python. Please start by learning Python, then start doing the translation - and then we'll be glad to help you. (snip vb code) > Any ideas on what am I doing wrong? Yes : trying to feed vb code to the Python interpreter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
