    Your post does not comply with the Forum Rules regarding use of code tags. Please amend your thread to apply code tags. Possible solutions will be suggested after complying with the Forum Rules. Thanks.

    3. Use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # button at the top of the post window. If you are editing an existing post, press Go Advanced to see the # button.
