Copy and Paste in the line above in place of what you have.

 

I pasted that into mine and it worked without error. Perhaps that will help :D

Glad that helped you out.

 

10 to 1 there was just one more itty bitty ' that was forgotten from the looks of it. :shock:

 

Pesky little creatures those typos can be.

As a matter of simple safety when editing any OSC file I copy the file first and add OLD to the name. Then if it goes pear shaped I can relace the original file and better still compare my new file to the original to see where any error is.

Paul,

 

Thank you for your help also. I have copied my file so I will have a standby in the future.

 

Bobbi :wink:
