Hate to say it, but functions can return records and dynamic arrays - I'm not aware of anything they cannot return. However the record handling is a bit messy on function return (uses a temporary copy, then overwrites the actual result destination - why I've got no idea)

Mark No prob, Sometime the issue with Delphi (it being a Object and Algorithmic Language) is when to use which, Esp when there are things it almost does, for example Why can't a function return a record or a dynamic array but can return a string? Is anyone using D7 does it have methods on records?
