There is not a single best case solution but putting the problem this way around looks tidy and keeps processing of each check grouped ... but is probably not how an exception based user would think? Adding additional processing to handle a failed $sth test does not break the work flow! -- 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
