I figured out what happened to the formula. There was a small clickable line in the middle of the formula in my Gmail mail reader that said "Show quoted text". When I clicked that, the missing part of the formula came back. It still didn't run though because the place that said "Show quoted text" changed to "Hide quoted text". Deleting the Hide quoted text from the pasted formula made it work just fine. I don't know if that quoted thing is unique to my mail reader but I have never seen it in formulas before.
Perhaps some mail client setting somewhere found something in the formula it thought indicated a bit of quoted text. Some mail clients allow user to change what character is used to indicate a quote (bad idea, the ">" is the standard!), then they think that when they find "their" quote character in some other part of the mail text, it indicates a quote, too. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
