Relax :) My current practice up until now has been to use 'return false' when an action failed, but the main return would be a number of records or string of data. So you are now blocking that activity ... I'm reading to right, but you are not thinking all possibilities through. But I think I'm starting to see it broken already with the other changes to the core :( I'm not returning 'IS_FALSE' so I'm probably going to have to change the 'false' to '0' anyway so as to avoid the bool? -- 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
