Sorry to have to post a secondary thread…but i’ve had responses to the previous one and now a new problem exists.

Why am I having to multiple click my button to make this function work? On each release of the button ‘SUB’ moves that little bit more but I need the function to work in one go after just one click!!

Something is obviously working for it to move at all, I just dont understand why it’s moving in stages!!
