Michael,
I'll try anything. I have done this in the past with other indicators, but
didn't try this yesterday. I guess I was too frustrated, to say the least.
I'm at a loss as to how copying and pasting can add invisible characters,
but I'll retype the variables. I hope you're right because that would be an
easy fix.
Regards,
Guy

>From you many posts of problems, I wonder if you are getting "invisable
characters" in your formulas. You have all of the symtoms. When frequently
using the copy and paste features of windows, sometimes invisable characters
get into your formulas and screw them up.
Try deleting all of the text in you formula and keep deleting until you are
certain that all characters, even the invisible ones are gone. Then retype
the formula by hand. If it works, then invisable characters were the most
likely culprat.
Hope this Helps,
Michael

List,
Well, I've fought my way through all of my indicators, right down to the
final 8. Number 7 and 8 worked yesterday, albeit slowly. Today I tried
moving indicator 8 in with 7 (via cutting and pasting) and then ran another
test, just to see if they continued to work. Just my paranoia about MS
working overtime and growing day-by-day. :)
Anyway, they didn't work. Surprise! Well, I thought I'd take another step
back and cut and paste them back into their own indicators again and see
what happened. That didn't work either. They both worked on Tuesday in
their individual indicators and don't work anymore as of Wednesday. I've
done everything I could think of. I made sure all of the extra parens were
there. I made sure that I didn't split any lines of any function name
within the variable. I had no references to any plots, just the two
variables.
Anyway, I'm too tired to play with them tonight, so I'll start again
tomorrow after taking the prodigal son to the school bus at 7AM and the
Tibetan Terriers to the groomers at 8AM.
Darn, but all of this work makes me wonder whether this MS conversion is
really worth it. I can add this to my Excel spreadsheet in a day or two as
opposed to the two months I've wasted so far. I'm really starting to get
frustrated and discouraged, which means I need a little sleep, so it's off
to bed as it's 12:30AM and I have to be up at 6.
