Houston, I disagree, though it's great that there are different opinions.
What's more, I never rely on operator precendence; you might think I'm a bit paranoic, but I always use parentheses to explicitly say what I want to say.
In complex conditions one can easily get lost between ANDs, ORs, ==, ..., so adopted the standard of using always parentheses to group the expressions.
As I said before, in a lot of cases the smarter programmer is not the best one.

By the way, did you say you found a way to reindex with no exclusive use of the tables? Could you please say how?

Regards,
Javier.

IF TYPE( "SomeVar" ) == "N" AND SomeVar > 0 THEN

Average? Where is Bill Clinton when you need a definition?
