No, I don't think you do. Well, not a valid value, anyway. If I set
"FindThis" to "Alco Blom" or 1, the script runs. If I set it to "biteme", it
doesn't, and I get the same result you do (an error, with the word "return"
selected in SE - it is probably trying to select "FindThis" but failing,
this is a very iffy feature where it tries to show where the problem is at
runtime). So wrap that puppy in a try block and catch the error, or else be
sure to supply a valid value. I don't see what the "maddening" part is - you
are making an error and you are being told so. m.
