Originally they were dim'ed, then I globalled them, then I moved them into the same code block... same results.

I'll try them in a seperate script just to see if I'm losing my mind (even more)

I'd paste the whole script but all the form objects would be cumbersome and it reads from a sql DB so it wouldn't work for anyone else regardless.
