So let's not assume that just because one segment of the userbase screams the loudest that this segment is representative. We have a large and diverse userbase and we need to make balanced decisions.Handling BIGINT variables as a single 64bit number rather than as a string of characters would seem to be the more productive way of working, but is incompatible with 32bit platforms? It's working out exactly which path is the most productive which is the current question. If a 64bit integer is supported as a native variable, would it be practical to have it available on a 32bit platform? Having potentially to have to code for two different scenarios is not the best way of moving forward? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
