Thanks Bill for the response and for the code improvement.  Adding 
the AddColumn gets rid of the error message however, when I run the 
scan it lists stock tickers who's short term ema is above the longer 
term ema as well as stock tickers who's long term ema is above the 
short term ema.  There still needs to be some code improvement so 
that only the stock tickers are listed who's short term ema is 
currently above the long term ema and has been for at least the last 
30 day's.  Any ideas?
