That sounds like it might work, but it makes the conditionals kind of nasty, because sExMode = "end" and thistag.ExMode = "end" is different than sExMode = "end" and thisTag.exMode = "start". So you'd need a four-way conditional, in addition to a check for start mode at the top to check whether you should do the logic to see if you can set sExMode = "end" becuase the cached version exists.
I think the UDF version is cleaner, because it keeps the logic flowing in the "usual" way, it's just using a UDF to help reuse some code. And perhaps more to the point, that code is already written, tested, and running. ;) cheers, barneyb On 8/25/05, Dan G.
