Nothing as maddening as a function / script / code that has performed flawlessly for years breaking due to an "Update" (we no longer refer to them as Upgrades!). 20ish years ago MS disallowed as symbol in Access (can't remember which one now) commonly used in VB scripts. Broke a crap-ton and a...

So sorry for your terrible loss. I wish for you great peace and comfort as you journey through these sad times.
