Thanks.  I think I saw to do that with nested IIF statements, but 
how do you control shading of candle bodies?  That's the part I 
don't understand.  Maybe the program doesn't allow control of that.  
Thanks for your help very much.  This seems like a great forum and I 
hope I can return the favors some day to people who are in the 
position I'm in now.
