What I mean is that most of the cells in your notebook should do nothing but define functions (that typically call each other). Then at the bottom of the notebook, you have a few cells (often just one) that actually calls one of the functions to do the calculation. It is a bit hard to figure out what you are doing, but I don't think your work is organised that way. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
