Ok I will work on the test case when I get a chance... (I think I can do 
this in a vmware session if not it is going to have to wait till I get 
to the house where I have a windows machine).

Ahh ok...  I also this morning moved the check to see if the call is 
just resetting the same value over and over to before the switch 
statement so that if we are getting the same value  it just returns like 
it did before however it does not set it over again.
