I was confusing this with some other issues that make me find that CASE constructs almost never tend to be what I end up using for character selection in my applications. My general statement applies, but this was a poor example. A better example would be the requirement that the case ranges be initialization expressions. -- Richard Maine [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
