So there should be nothing in parentheses after the "else" (and no parentheses). It doesn't need a conditional because it handles any case not already handled by the previous "if" and "else if" statements.

Steven Parker
241,448 PointsSo you have nothing between the word "else" and the brace "{" ?
Show your whole code here as you have it now and I will take another look.
