My button code now works. I went to tear down half of the main logic and when I put just a touch of it back in place, the whole thing came together and it just started working. Who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?
Anyway, sometimes just putting a problem out in the ether somehow lights a fire under me to fix it. It wasn't the responses that got me there - this time at least - but still anyway, it seems to bake my noodle in the right way such that I overcome my block.

Welcome to the Code Project Rubber Duck Forum. Always willing to listen!
Glad you fixed it.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Please don't be insulted, but do you understand why it works now? This sort of thing makes me crazy, because I need to understand why something "just starts working". If I don't, I keep waiting for it to fail in some spectacularly bad way and the resultant anxiety is awful.

I've looked at it since, and it's a bit of a rube goldberg contraption but it's not inexplicable.

Let me guess...
the working code is "simpler"/shorter than the buggy code?

Sometimes just explaining the issue to a co-worker to get their help will make the solution apparent even before they've had the chance to respond. I suspect that works because the act of organizing the problem in your head to make it clear to the listener also makes the issue clear.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Sick of the new job already are you? 
Call your boss and ask!

In my opion, you should've visited with HR when the sickness first began.
That way they'd have proof that you are indeed sick.

We still have phones, Glenn. Why not just call ER and ask? It sounds like a common flu to me, but I ain't no doctor.

Pete, you solved the puzzle.

Yes, real money = Letter pool

I've owned two decent watches both of them Michel Herbelin , the last one lasted ~ 30 years and the current one will almost definitely outlive me.
