Programs are best built up a bit at a time. Assuming your program is reasonably short, why not post it all - someone will almost certainly fix it for you. You should certainly not need to execute Unprotect[List] - this is a very bad move! I would also avoid using Off until you know why you want it. In Mathematica, error messages do not stop the code running, so it is not essential to turn them off - better to leave them there as a reminder that something is still not right! Also, turning a message off, does not fix the problem! David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
