But from the sound of it, it did exactly what you told it to.

Is that because it has not gone back to the scan routine? Should I have used goto and resume or just put return after each if...then statement? I ask this <b>not </b>ignoring your statement I should not have done it this way in the first place.<br>
<b> Could you explain in more detail as to why? How does combocount get to the correct status to open the gate?</b>
<b>I really appreciate it Darrel.</b>
