Hi,

quick qestion on the compound types. For some reason I had an 
impression that compound types can match their fields by the 
filed name and the order of the fields (and the number) does 
not really matter. I re-read the User's Guide and there it 
explicitely states (In Data Transfer section):

  The name and order of the fields must be the same in the source 
  and the destination but the source and destination may have 
  different alignments of the fields, and only some of the fields 
  might be transferred.

It seems that my assumption is not correct. What should happen now
when source and destination types have the same fields but ordered 
differently? Do we get any error or does it silently skip fileds?


Thanks,
Andy
