If the user can't specify at run time, it will be decided by the declaration, so an argument will always or never be a reference, depending on your declaration. You might have to change the interface then. I haven't seen the interface, but how about forcing reference and always return new value? It shouldn't be a problem except that it's not backwards compatible. The good thing is that you won't have to check if the argument is a reference. You probably knew this too. Stig
