I would think that those of us out here could help you better if you name
the *something*.  If I know the solution to a problem with a piece of code,
I'm happy to share it.  I can't share it if I don't know what the problem is.

The best course of action if anyone has a problem with a piece of code obtained
through the net (or any similar organization) is attempt to contact the author.
If that fails, post a request for help, but PLEASE mention what the problem
is (or was).

I'm not trying to lecture or put anybody down.  I'm just trying to help by
pointing out the obvious.

Good luck!
