I've gotten into the habit of using the IF rarely. Even on the most basic of checking. I find that using select not only gives me more flexibility for future operations, but encourages me to think more flexible. For example instead of just a If NotGood; I start to think why it may not be good. Select; When Good; ... When Reason=UserMoron; ... When Reason=ManagerMoron; ...

They seem identical in function at a high level, so I'm unsure if one is better performance-wise or something. I guess I'm looking for something to distinguish the two so I know when to use one and when to use the other. Thanks, Kurt Anderson Application Developer Highsmith Inc. W5527 State Road 106, P.O.
