[AccessD] Friday (You Know)

How about one that misses a negative zero?  (obviously not an issue in
VB or VBA)

Back in the days of DOS, Pinnacle Publications had a Clipper Advisor
magazine, for which I wrote a column called Seek And Destroy. The idea
was
that I would present some code containing a bug and challenge the reader
to
detect the bug. The first few columns were easy, but as the months
passed I
found it increasingly difficult to come up with a non-obvious bug. This
may
not be further proof of my conjecture, but it is an interesting
exercise.
Try to write a buggy routine. Nothing obvious like an a misspelled
variable
name or an array-boundary error. It's got to be subtle.
