It's a problem with the Network54 Forum display!!!!

It's not my fault. Network54 has a problem displaying the greater-than/less-than symbol.

When I looked at the preview, it displayed the symbols correctly, so I thought the forum problem had been solved, but apparently it was not. For some reason, it displayed correctly in my original post above, but the last one was edited in WORD to get the indentations.

It was supposed to be:
IF VAL(snum$) [is not equal to] 0 THEN

Instead of the above, you can substitute this line, which works exactly the same:

IF NOT (VAL(snum$) = 0) THEN

Please post again after you made the correction in your listing.
