            I suppose you're right, still, made me chuckle. Not sure what it's got to do with the dbnull/date cast though!

                Use PNG. Depending on pallete selection, GIF's can be lossy.

                  I bow to superior knowledge! I just did it to show I know how to pull up an infinity symbol! :)

                        Well, if you perform the calculation within the confines of a Messagebox statement, rather than an exception, you will receive the result "infinity" and not "nullity"! Rich :)
