Jim: Thank you very much for looking at this!
Will exporting the function cause prototype checking to be done for all callers? I probably wasn't clear in my original posting, the problem I'm having is that the code sample I gave *does* compile successfully, without errors. I don't need to export anything to get it to compile successfully. I want it to *fail* compilation with an error callout about a parameter count mismatch. I haven't tried your suggestion yet, but do you think that what you're suggesting will cause a compilation error to occur? If so, great, that's what I'm looking for.
