This is yet another example of why you should post the *real* DB files when
you post a question like this. Go back and read your initial post and try
to figure out how I could possibly have guessed that this was the problem.
And even from the above post it was pretty difficult -- the file you sent
was correct because the line was really commented out.
You have to post the *actual* file that's causing problems. When you just
describe what you intended to do, there are too many details missing.
