Thanks for the clarification. I think that I said something that ends up 
meaning the same thing, but my wording was probably totally confusing. 
Either way, in this case that cannot be the problem anyway, but using 
'+' with a library file seems somewhat "odd", but that might just be me.

Right now I'm curious to just get confirmed if the library file indeed 
holds the macro.
