Then you are using IsNumber() the wrong way: in your code, vItem is a string (I guess), and so IsNumber(vItem) will always return FALSE. You used IsNumber() as if it would tell you if a string can be converted to a number, which it does not at the moment! And which is exactly what I want to change! -- Benoît Minisini ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
