Working now. Never overlook "dumb" as possible cause of a problem. I 
this case it appears that either the macro name or the call to it had a 
hidden character. renamed the macro, and upated the invocation: problem 
goes away.

Thanks for your help. Where you note "This looks wrong" you are correct. 
A line was dropped when I copy/pasted the file into the e-mail.
