Thanks, and I came to the same conclusion in regard to the range of values for X.
You feedback and confirmation of the problem are appreciated.
And, while everyone benefits from an occasional review, I rarely find it necessary to make inquiries of the type, and even less frequently in the evening. For what ever reason (mostly fatigue) it just stumped me.
Never the less, I do appreciate the input.
