Hi Kirk

BTW, if you were to tell us more about your routine, you may find it can be improved far more substantially than just by switching between IF and IIF.

>I have a fairly large module that contains a search routine that consists of a series of Loops inside loops, inside loops. Within the loops I have serveral places where I do comparisons such as:

>IF VARTYPE(ldStartOn)=[D]
>    ldStartOn=ldStartOn+1
>ELSE
>    ldStartOn=ldStartOn+86400
>ENDIF

Since this module I'm looking at runs potientially 100+ times before it exits, I thought I might want to find out which way was better in terms of speed.
