MAX4621 bilateral switches

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else has used these cmos switches for anything?  I'm using them in a routing/muting part of something, but can't seem to have any joy to get them to work.  I've got V+ hooked up to +9 V and V- hooked up to -9V, then the logic supply, VL hooked up to 5V and the GND hooked to the common 0V.  Nothing seems to happen at all when I connect the switch input to 5V or 0V, I can't see what I'm doing wrong.  I've got protection diodes inclded just as the maxim data sheet suggests.  Any ideas?!

It's OK.. after coming back and hooking it all up again, it decided to work!  That's been happening loads with me and breadboards at the moment - it's always usually just a dodgy connection somewhere, even though it looks like it should be fine.
