You miss the point here. If the value returned is sometimes VOID and sometimes 0, then if you do: if( voidP( result ) ) then -- do something else if( result = 0 ) then -- do something else end if Then you will get different results depending on the apparently random output from this function with a single known input. That's not good from an engineering POV. - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
