Thank you for your response, I didn't do the -7 because this is just a
small part of the dataset and the number are not all consistent (ie skip
some numbers occasionally).  However, I did not think of the
as.numeric(as.factor()) sequence.  That did the trick, simple lapse in my
thoughts that cost me a lot of time.

Thanks again,
Charles
