I was not so much reporting a bug as a warning for others changing code to vartype. I can live with it as long as I know. But I do wonder why vartype was even invented when type worked as expected. Though thinking about it as you mentioned it is looking at variables not objects. It does seem to fail on type "U" returns. Al

If I try ?VARTYPE(formname.tag), the error returned is alias not found. IAC, it has behaved consistently for me in 9 as far as returning O for a form that exists or U or X for one that does not or is NULL. ymmv. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/001801ca4ca1$9c4f5190$d4edf4...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
