Howdy,

I don't know what is happening in your case but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if the syntax has changed once again. A macro that I have been using for years stopped working under Lion. The only way I could get it to work without generating an error was to comment out the `on error' clause. There weren't any errors so I don't know why that happened.

Good Luck,
