And I contend that if the garbage collector is airtight then the need is less. VBA OTOH has a garbage collector that belongs to a union, it only works on Mondays, Wednesdays, the third Fridays and never on holidays. Unless of course it is just out on strike... I think from reading the articles and the comments underneath that there is no consensus. An opinion is an opinion is an opinion. Man is a rationalization machine and while you can rationalize as many exit points as you want, I can rationalize only a single exit point. Natural PKs on the other hand... ;) John W.
