The value returned can be processed by the calling function and then the called funtion will continue !!! this is the url to miguel's blog: http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/activity-log.php rosh ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/cochindotnet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
