Actually you need to be careful to remember not to put not before a boolean expression without putting parenthesis around the expression because anything that is not “true” in LC evaluates to false. For example: not “foo” is “bar” -> (not “foo”) is “bar” -> (not “false”) is “bar” -> “true" is “bar” -> “false” not (“foo” is “bar”) -> not “false” -> “true" Cheers Monte _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
