I would send the project but it is working and at the time of the problem I 
just fixed it.  Like I said this was vague at best and at the time did not 
realize what was wrong.  Of course as the programmer I blamed myself and only 
later thought it best if I reported the issue.  Example of why I say it was 
vague:
1.  Did I always have that "Endif" statement in the code?
2.  Does the compiler assume a missing "End If" if the "End If" only contains 
one "then" statement as in
if something then
 do something

3.  Was the error somewhere else - I ended up replacing code from a backup.
