No doubt you have long since moved on to other matters, but here's a belated answer in further clarification. If you're not using "as well" in the sense of an appositive phrase (e.g. She went to the grocer's as well as the baker's), no comma is required. If you use "as well" in an appositive sense (e.g. I like football but I like golf, as well), then a comma is called for. George
