I haven't really been following this thread, but I assume you are on Windows. If so, you can open a Command Prompt from All Programs/Accessories, 'cd' to the folder containing your script, and type in the script name. It will start, crash, and display the error, but the window will stay open, so you will be able to read the full traceback. Normally the traceback provides enough clues that you can figure out for yourself what the problem is. But if you still cannot solve it, copy/paste the entire traceback and send it here. The chances are that someone can help. BTW, did you notice that I removed the bulk of your original message, and left behind just enough to provide a context for your question and for my reply? This is good etiquette, and others will appreciate your doing the same. Frank Millman
