Spell out the code so that any dumb compiler or programmer can read it. On-topic: that makes my response to this thread, "not". One of our colleagues from the mid 80's wrote code that was so clean I liked to say we could eat off of it. I think he still reads this forum: So to Mark Vander Veen, here we are over 20 years later and I Still appreciate your code. Now THAT is Brilliant.
