Hello Gustav,

thanks for the help (also thanks Borge and Jim).
When i call the punction in the On Click event i get an error: The
expression you entered has a function containing the wrong number of
arguments.

What is going wrong.
I don'r see it (but this also could be the result of my headache while
having the flu)

Pedro
