Yes, I do it, and disagree with Barney on implicit conversion always being evil.
There are functions where implicit conversion shouldn't be used: DateCompare(), Max(), etc - those ones should be compared against the expected value. But when the boolean conversion is known and unambigious - Query.RecordCount, Len(), ArrayLen(), find(), etc - it is perfectly acceptable to rely on it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317666 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
