texte = John, I'm not comparing this directly to the [math] issue. I was using it as an example to show that something small and innocuous could cause an error internal to the complied WebDNA code. However, I was trying to illustrate with my previous post that the problem was not so much as happening on that .tpl page as it was causing the emailer to send duplicates without having a duplicate email saved into the EMailFolder. Therefore it seems like an internal WebDNA issue. My belief (after reading through 2 years of archives on this same subject where previous people did not get a resolution) is that posting my code is not going to get anywhere. From my point of view this is an internal WebDNA issue. That's why I posted the issue, what I've tried to solve it and was hoping everyone else that experienced this might remember what they did. Or maybe Scott would have a quick theoretical answer.

John, I'm not comparing this directly to the [math] issue. I was using it as an example to show that something small and innocuous could cause an error internal to the complied WebDNA code. However, I was trying to illustrate with my previous post that the problem was not so much as happening on that .tpl page as it was causing the emailer to send duplicates without having a duplicate email saved into the EMailFolder. Therefore it seems like an internal WebDNA issue. My belief (after reading through 2 years of archives on this same subject where previous people did not get a resolution) is that posting my code is not going to get anywhere. From my point of view this is an internal WebDNA issue. That's why I posted the issue, what I've tried to solve it and was hoping everyone else that experienced this might remember what they did. Or maybe Scott would have a quick theoretical answer.
