<div>Hey Ken, <br>

I am sorry that I am asking you a lot of stupid questions. But I am stuck here. I followed what you said, But I don't see the piece number getting updated. And also when would that stop being updated...etc. Here is my code
<br>

<br>
Step_Initializer(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)">Piece_No</span>); // makes the file and variables ready for that piece<br>
<br>
