created. After deleting the loop, and its associated equipment, I’m able to

now! Thanks to those who responded.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
It sounds like you've come across a weird one here. If you're open to sending
your files to us, or to me, I can try to see if it works for me. Another idea
is to open your .pd2 file in notepad to see if anything looks weird in it.<br>
