I restarted Matlab and now 'max' works. Thanks all.

Jan, you hit the nail on its head. I did indeed shadow 'max', and that was screwing me up. Thanks to all (although James just made fun of me ;-).

As a top poster, you deserve to be ruthlessly ridiculed.

Don't put you reply on top. It makes the thread hard to follow.
Put your reply UNDERNEATH

Because you didn't show any original work in your first post. I generally don't poke fun at people even for simple questions, but since you didn't show us anything you tried I figured a little good-natured ribbing was not out of line. Looks like you had a genuine issue that you couldn't solve after trying, so I offer my sincere apologies, but I just couldn't resist the opportunity on that one ...
