>It does bring to mind the following, but I'm not totally sure that it would still apply. This is from something I read sometime ago. In constructing an IF < lexpr1> OR < lexpr2 >, it's a good idea to place the condition that evaluates to .T. (if known) the greater amount of times first. This is because, the second condition only is evaluated when the first is .F. Placing the lesser condition first will require a greater number of comparisons of both expressions.

Yes... it still works that way... also, with AND expressions, once a .f. is hit, it stops evaluating the expression... this is why you can do...

if vartype(oObject) = "O" and oObject.Property = whatever

If the first half is .f., and it DID try to eval the next expression, you would get an Object Not found.
