I've run into other circumstances where using parens makes an expression yield the correct results. I can't think of them off the top of my head but the resukt has been that I probably use an overabundance of parens in my code so I don't have to worry about things working correctly. That's how I stumled on the solution to this - just force of habit.
Actually, as a bonus, I think parens often make the code more readable too. Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com> On Sun, Mar 3, 2013 at 4:18 PM, J.
