Many of the times 'blanket' changes are applied the edge cases simply get missed because nobody actually checked each change? :( I'm still missing where BIGINT fit into this and that is the only area where we need 64bit numbers that work transparently on a 32bit build? Fixing one without also covering the other just seems wrong especially if it then needs further changes in the same area? -- 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
