Thanks... I think I have it solved. I was using the scratch variable on 
that page BEFORE I called the user tag. So the variable was effectively 
empty and you were of course correct. It was fooling me because the 
actual calculations were working.. but they appeared AFTER the user tag 
was called. I moved the call to the usertag towards the top of the page 
and it seems ok now. Thanks!
