Tom,

>Everyone likes to do things for one reason or another. I agree with your approach for readability. It would seem that your code would also be faster as you are executing one line of code as opposed to having to fall through CASE or IF statements.

The only downside to the one liner structure is you don't have those ELSE blocks available. It also depends on VFP early out optimization to prevent calls to the later clauses. Overall though it's a lot more readable to me (and that's all that matters *g*)

>P.S. I am a speed freak when it comes to code and data! :)

Me too.
