Um, I'm not sure, actually. I would have thought so but I have never had to code a script where I anticipated failure AS A NORMAL OPERATION. (In other words, I have had lots of problems in debug, but once it worked, it just worked...) Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that you are using autotree. Can you supply a simple test case? Its hard to see what might be happening based on the extracted snippets from above. Perhaps one of the Gurus can weigh in? > -- > Aamer Akhter / [EMAIL PROTECTED] > NSITE cisco Systems - -- Intel, Corp. 5000 W. Chandler Blvd. Chandler, AZ 85226 - -- Intel, Corp. 5000 W.
