Hehe. True enough and i didn't even see that before you posted. Thanks for clarifying. I should know better after discovering that different versions of Access use differn't values for true and false one uses 1 for true, while another uses -1.. which causes huge confusion when relying on 1 ....which as you point out I shouldn't.

/me sets back in his chair and waits for perl6 so i can do if one(@a) == true { }
