Just a heads up to Read The Fine Manual. 
I have to wonder what the real issue is. I mean, you can toss together a couple of lines of code to test and answer your own question so wonder if maybe it's a DIM or GLOBAL issue.
Don't get me wrong, we don't mind simple questions. Just sometimes we have to read between the lines as to what the real issue may be.
