The actualy statement that it blows up on is a
simple IF VAL() = 0. The code is a little
involved to post. Besides the fact that the
error is intermittent. It is for a datascrubbing
application where we're using DataTech's
(formerly Group 1's) AccuMail product. I wrote
a wrapper class that does oall of the address
scrubbing including a call to the AccuMail API.
I can run the program once and get the error or
run it 10 times in succession and not get it.

I'm reluctant to post anything because whatever
I post would either be too much or not enough.

I do indeed understand the significane of Bob
taking the time out to respond and it is my
plan of attack to beat tech-support up Monday.
I have no idea of how they can approach this one
but I'll keep y'all posted.

Thanks for your help George.
