So Paul,
Thank you for your great response to a "design time issue" which does not solve my immediate problem.
How do I call the value "At Runtime" from the parent macro from within the called macro? Can you please look at the code I supplied in my original question and either validate that it is correct or suggest ways to correct it?
Do you have to drop into the other design view in order to be able to save the code "at Design Time?" [since you can't seem to input it through the GUI?]
