    Too True. I've changed that but the script is still hanging up. Any ideas?
      ...causing the full script to fail....
      Can anyone tell me why this is hanging up?

      With your giving considerably more information as to what you mean(*) by the above two statements, the short answer is "No!".

      (*) What error messages or other symptoms of failure are you recieving? In what context is the above code being called?

      You have told us "it doesn't work", but nothing else.
