Stat.Mode is an Integer. An integer is a value. There is no such thing as a "decimal integer". It may be *stored* in a binary base in memory, it may be *displayed* in decimal base if you Print it, but per se it doesn't have any base attached to it. You only give an integer a base if you encode it to a string. -- "There's an old saying: Don't change anything... ever!" -- Mr. Monk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
