Ron,

I believe that you mentioned that this all boiled down to a design issue.  Since
this seems to be an ever changing program, the next time you have to make a
change, how about changing parameter #1 to be which procedure or function the
calling program wants?

Either checking the number of parms or null to determine which function to
perform, IMHO, is way too subtle and prone to misinterpretation.  It may be a
PITA to do this, but it will be a larger PITA if you don't.
