LOL. I get the same imagery when the phrase 'The can be changed without you knowing it...'. Huh? The only possible explanation for that, in my case, would be a total lack of coffee for several days, followed by deep hypnotism.

I haven't managed yet to build self generating code; to some this would indicate a brave new world, to some it would be a nightmare - functions creeping around and attacking our globals and eating our children... gosh. But worse, they would soon learn how to take advantage of your functions to change those "private variables"! Be prepared. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 05/16 10:58 pm >>> .. Making this a global allows functions that have no business setting these variables to change them. By having a private variable returned by a public function, any function that needs the information can get it but cannot modify it. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
