Peter has shown you how to make that work but
there is a wee issue below I need to point out.

The error message clearly does not reflect the code above.
In this case its not too bad but in more complex questions
it is very important that you send the actual code that
generates the error. Otherwise we wind up just guessing
at what might be the problem.

Just something for future reference.
