Ah well, there you have me. Much as I admire Ole's motives in writing this script, in order to use it you have to learn yet another language, so I tend not to use the script at all. I've just taken a look at the script and its documentation and as far as I can see, what you originally had, with once instead of all should have worked -- the documentation doesn't seem to say (thinks: I might have an early version) what "all" and "once" mean -- ah, but if you look at the comments in the script it becomes clear. "once" means do a search once, over the range, so it does not mean "make one change" but rather make as many changes as fit the prescription in one pass over the range. While "all" means keep on trucking until no changes are made. The version I'm looking at comes back to you with a confirmation that you want to continue after 100 passes. I gather that didn't happen to you (either that or your run took so long to reach 100 passes that you lost patience). Dave
