Lee:
I have already tried all your suggestions to no avail. In pressing the F3
key it acts as if there is a set linkage between the elements in the
array/queue and that linkage has been broken. I have even tried loading the
list with different citations to no avail. I get two types of actions. F3
from the initial position loops through a distinct set of 3 or 4 items, not
necessarily in the order found in the list, i.e., it may be from 1 to 3 to 4
to 8 to 1 to ... This always changes. If I CTRL-F3 and select an item in
the middle of the list and then F3 it loops from my selection to the next
item back to my selection.

If you could give me the name of the actual file containing the list I could
copy one from another project and overwrite the bad one. Maybe that would
fix it. Or as an alternative delete the bad file and let TMG rebuild it.

Thanks for your help on this.
Mike
