Once the VI is at a breakpoint, the editor blinks the next node that will execute, and that happens to be the ?: operation that was blinking.

Thanks Greg, that makes sense now. It never occurred to us that there was a breakpoint running and we didn't recognize it. But it fits with what happened when we continued to run the code and it began to work.

I notice the trigger code is in a disable structure in the patched version.

Thanks again for your help. We're crossing our fingers for next week when we can get back to it.
