Thank you Ken, I will keep this as a last resort.

I would have to change a lot in my program because the clauses are generated on the fly from parameters, the enduser enters. I would be forced to change the function to support a new option to switch enginebehavior. So I try to circumvent that when possible.

Thanks
Gerhard
