For the most part yes. I did find one instance where vartype() returned an error where type() returned a "U". Hopefully Christof will chime in because I think he has done extensive testing of this new function.

Either way, you definitely need some code changing to rename your UDF and all occurrences of calling it in your apps -- which, for now, may be the safest thing to do.
