Look at the else block. you are calling getaccbal but not receiving the return value in any variable. Unless you receive the value in a variable or pass bal as a reference, bal will contain the old value. If you are using OOP then you should be calling geraccbal as self.bal . regards Vivek -- The hidden harmony is better than the obvious!! _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
