Hi Paul,

Nothing, it works fine. It must be how you are using it.

For me it goes to Begin or it does not depending on the values I enter

for the 2 variables.

Note, in the above variable you have a space after the 5 that makes the

numeric value of the string 0 (zero).

You can use our Plug and Play String function TrimEnds to remove spaces

to solve this problem or see there are no spaces in the first place.
