  You’ve got two IFs and 4 EndIfs … is that the problem?

  Also please use the <> Insert PRT Code button to add code to this page as then your code will be formatted and also in colour and will then be so much easier to read 🙂

  GraHal is right, your 2 ENDIF at lines 19 and 37 should not be present.
