FSVO "works". Can something be said to be "working" if it contains the possibility of a security breach or system outage? Just asking. IOW - if I write code with no input validation, is that "working" code? Is it "working" if the code abends or give incorrect results if presented with invalid input? No to my way of thinking. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
