This type of check is used in a lot of software and has never given anyone a problem. I'd go with it, and not try to do anything more fancy. The chances of screwing things up are increased if we try to be more clever. Dave Schuler [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 24 Oct 1997 19:19:57 PDT Dean Gaudet wrote: >Oh wow.
