Thanks Keith and Tomasz for you help and comments. As you both can 
tell Im seriously handicapped when it comes to coding :). I also 
hope I didn't come off like I thought there was something wrong with 
AMibroker, I am fully aware that my lack of coding skill was the 
issue, just didn't know how to fix it. Its a great program and I 
love it, just trying to get things working for me. I will Do some 
more work on it today
