Hi Matt,


Sure, but you need to show us your while loop first.


It sounds like you've almost got it right, so I suspect it has to do
something with the while loop condition always being being a true value.
But we really do need to see the code so that we don't have to read your
mind.  *grin*



Good luck to you!
