Hi John, He're the code I would like to see work. The cursor_to is an oversight. I extracted this element from some other code in an attempt to isolate/resolve the problem myself, hence having a simplified table version. Which works actually, but unfortunately that's not educating me suffieciently. Actual error message I see follows.
