I think that an error trap is the way to go. It's just a bit awkward to have to fill one's codes with error traps everywhere. But perhaps I could just isolate those places where user input is planed. The main problem I have run into is when one of the nodes is null, with GT.M doesn't allow in VistA (I think it is possible to configure it to allow this!). Isn't there a command to list out the various nodes in a reference? Thanks Kevin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
