Of course this is a compiler error, rendering response 1 superfluous. As to the comments about 'maxelts': is this what the compiler refers in its quite vague message "Invalid Type"? If not -- and admittedly, nothing else seems awry -- it would appear the compiler had not processed the definition of type 'record1' first, which specifies the compiler error: failing to process definitions in order.
