Error message when running remember - byte-code: Before first headline at position 363 in buffer *Remember*

Error message when running remember - byte-code: Before first headline at position 363 in buffer *Remember*

[Deric Bytes]

I was hoping to add a top-level heading to my file. I changed


  (setq org-remember-templates
      '(("* Task" ?t "%^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK} %^{Brief
Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p  %^{other-subjects}p
%^{sub-subjects}p  %^{keywords}p %?\nCalled from: %a\nAdded: %U"
"~/notes/notes-log-090410.org"))

 to this  ( subsituted '* Task'  for 'Task' )

  (setq org-remember-templates
      '(("Task" ?t "%^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK} %^{Brief
Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p  %^{other-subjects}p
%^{sub-subjects}p  %^{keywords}p %?\nCalled from: %a\nAdded: %U"
"~/notes/notes-log-090410.org"))

 i did this because it was adding double stars.

I got the following error message when adding properties to my template

byte-code: Before first headline at position 363 in buffer *Remember*

 Just in case I confused someone. Here was the code that worked originally. ( I
made a typo )

   (setq org-remember-templates
       '(("Task" ?t "* %^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK} %^{Brief
 Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p  %^{other-subjects}p
 %^{sub-subjects}p  %^{keywords}p %?\nCalled from: %a\nAdded: %U"
 "~/notes/notes-log-090410.org"))

Set the headline field in the template to 'top or 'bottom to get top- 
level headlines and the beginning or end of the file, respectively.

Thanks....  I had to look up what the headline field was. Also didn't know
whether to use "top", 'top, or top.....  So here's my working template to save
some people time.


  (setq org-remember-templates
      '(("Task" ?t "* %^{Task status|TODO|STARTED|SUBTASK|DONE} %^{Brief
Description} %^G\n %^{subject}p  %^{other-subjects}p  %^{sub-subjects}p 
%^{keywords}p %?\n    Added: %U \n" "~/notes/now.org" top))
