Nothing to be embarrassed about. If we don't tell each other how we code, it is difficult to improve, because there are a lot of assumptions, on both sides.

Using parameters is something that is helpful to know about for just about anything you may want to achieve.

The more you will understand script parameters and be comfortable with them, the more you will want to use them everywhere.

I see @Malcolm just posted a resource on that same topic.

See how that helps, feel free to ask questions and/or start a tread specific to parameters, different techniques and the benefits from using parameters. Parameters can be lots of fun. Curious to see what will think of it all.

@cpking Sorry, that I have disconnected without comment at some point yesterday. I simply had no more time. I see @Malcolm and @Bobino have given you food for thought. I think this will put you on the track to solve your problem.

Absolutely no problem. We are all livelong learners 🙂

@Malcolm pointed you to a good primer that provides all details for a start.
