That is the problem with the object being inconsistent. Since any string representation is not 0 it becomes true. So in order to get around the bug I have to do boolean(int(value)); That way if value comes back as a stirng it is properly cast to an int then to a boolean. If it comes back as an int then the int(value) is irrelevant and it is still cast to a boolean correctly. Greg

If I need to create a sample I can but it would be late next week, For now I cast it as int then let it get coerced into a boolean. Thanks, Greg
