Nothing to do with Windows 7, don't call your subroutines the same as built-in functions! I changed the name of the subroutine and it worked fine for me on Windows 7.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I changed here the name of the subrutine only for the sake of clarity (bad idea!). Mine is called "call_blablabla". Anyway interesting that it works fine for you. Maybe there are some restriction on the machine I am now working on (even if this sound strange to me).

      Indeed, that is a bad idea. When posting code, post exactly what you have, or even better a minimal example which recreates the problem. Giving us something you aren't running is clearly a waste of our time. See How do I post a question effectively?.

        Again, I am very sorry. I'll do my best in future. Thank you anyway for your time.
