What you typed was a partial logical statement (akin to using a contraction instead of writing out full words) and then expected the compiler to fill in the details and extrapolate. The compiler, being a fair-minded device, expanded your statement to what it knew deep in its heart you really meant: as Mark pointed out, that would be if fld "fXXX" is true and fld "fZZZ" is empty which is proper logic and proper grammar. Although not the logic you intended. If indeed you had typed out either of if fld "fXXX" is empty and fld "fZZZ" is empty or (as Thierry has cleverly pointed out) if (fld "fXXX" & fld "fZZZ") is empty you would again have proper (and intended) logic and proper grammar. ...I'm stopping now before I start veering into the dangerous ground of the syntax of statements like if me is empty -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
