Yes, I believe that IncrementValue IS faster, but I'm not going to use it except where I need to squeeze the last millisecond from a heavily-used piece of code. Comprehensibility + readabaility = maintainability + reliabaility, or something like that. Lee (Bjork) Borkman http://bjork.net ColdFus

I disagree. Why is it "better"? SetVariable is just another redundant function to learn, another syntax to look up. I believe there actually IS some circumstance where you MUST use it, but I just can't recall when. does exactly what you would expect and hope. It's simple (as in Occam's Razor
