There is a typo here (not sure if it got in while you were passing it to 
email). There is an extra close-parenthesis after  (1,2,3)

The data that goes into a table must be a a sequence of sequences - the 
outer sequence is usually a list, but I don't know if that is absolutely 
mandatory (I have not gotten all the way through your example yet). I do 
know that you can have a list as the inner sequence (I convert them to 
lists frequently so that I can manipulate the results as text - insert 
thousands commas, convert nulls to "--", etc.)

More later ...
