Again i'm very aware of the steps seperatly. I've done the searching i've seen the posts here such as

I guess I should have just posted my code and let you guys find the bug. since this code should be trivial as you say and I agree I thought someone would have have a simple example that they could copy and paste so I could find out there I went wrong.
I'll post my code later.
