Hi all and thanks for the replies.

Alain: I tried with AND but got an error of too many variables. Indeed was long line!

Melanie: That was what I did just before reading your post. Yes this works but was not appealing to me as an elegant solution.

Steve & Tobias: Yes,I see now, after the morning cup of coffee that it never reached the ELSE statement.

Thanks again to all.
