I have been busy on other stuff, so I am only just catching up with this.  I don't think I will mess with success on this one.  However, the parentheses thing is really useful to know.  I always understood they organised evaluation, but hadn't appreciated that they force it - which presumable might be what happens with a direct reference to a line in the field.  

Still don't quite grasp the platform issue though...

Thanks to all who chipped in.
