You could not be more correct. You wrote NOT and I translated that in my head to the exclamation point. (My C is showing.)
And yes, absolutely, as you say, the problem is the merging of logical not and XOR operations. The link below says "NOT -- Called Logical NOT Operator. Used to reverse the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true, then Logical NOT operator will make false." But as you saw, that is not so. If foo is X'01' then NOT foo is X'FE' and both are true.

You spoke of a '!' operator in C, but I've never heard of that operator in VBA; all I meant is that maybe I should look in VBA for another Boolean operator that is different from NOT as you say '!' is different from '~' in C. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
