I didn't get a response to my observation that your corrected version of my notebook runs differently in Mathematica 6 (i.e. it works OK) and Mathematica Player (i.e. it does not work OK). I don't yet know whether this is because I am trying to do something that Mathematica Player is not designed to do, or because I have hit upon a problem in Mathematica Player. -- Steve Luttrell West Malvern, UK "John Fultz" <jfultz at wolfram.com> wrote in message news:ffpq9j$lfq$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Mathematica Player does not evaluate Initialization cells.
