The sequence of the values is important, but not the sequence of the parameter pairs (i.e. you can put the rn parameter before or after the db parameter with no change to the reqults).There are completely different parameters specified for those who choose to provide the min and max values as separate parameters - mr and xr.Look it up in the docs and you'll see what I mean.- brian -- <= Brian C.
