I don't have time to decode what you are trying to do, but for a start, if you are doing math on a variable, then it needs to be a math variable, right??? Wrapping [text] around [math] is just pure wrong; there is no good way to say it. Change all of your variables to [math] except [all_chars_are_legal] which is a logical and can be stored as text.I have no idea what you intend the [convertchars] to do; I am assuming you are trying to suppress all of the returns generated by that text. You should forget about doing anything about extra returns until your inside code works, which I doubt it does now.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
