I can't belive this

If that is the case, he should throw in some loops that don't do anything (or maybe it can assign a variable to itself). Ryan Johnston

Any chance you can set him up for an interview? We just gotta ask him whattahell he was thinking... I mean, using Spanish variables names inside an English program, geesh! :-) Regards, Alvaro Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein

Was it an English program? It looked like the only english was the dirty VB. Ryan Johnston

Maybe his english cousin works here ;P I've seen code very similar to that where I work Paresh Solanki "To the world, you may be just one person, but to one person, you may be the world"

Most entities in programming are verbs and adjectives which are named to help you understand what they do.

No kidding, it seems like VB's heavyier use of English makes it even harder than a language like C++. Ryan Johnston

Also me, but I think that is because that developer need to reaffirm the value of the variable.... :-D:-D:-D Carlos Antollini. Sonork ID 100.10529 cantollini

Oh man, I think I'm going to throw up... There are three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't.

"Dear Antonito", mamacita said weeping, "when you leave our beautiful San Paolitinito, take care of all the robbers and bad americans everywhere. They steal and rob you blind! Your uncle Jesus from San Paolitano said they can even steal your name and birth date!" (of course, she said it in spanish..) And so, Antonio got into the routine of frequently checking if name & date are still there... But I think the self-asignment is just some internal "VB is type free" mess, like converting the type-free String object fecha into a type free string-as-in-zero-terminated-sequence-of-characters fecha. Or a type free double indirectly referenced object with a default (type free saiztsoc) String property into a type-free you already stopped reading about this String thing, didn't you?

I thing he/she, for sure, missed part of code: if fecha <> "" then fecha = fecha if fecha <> "" then MessageBox("It seems operator '=' works fine."); else MessageBox("Something is wrong with '=' operator, please call Microsoft or Intel."); end if else fecha = rs("fecha_opera") end if

Look at this: if (!bHide) bHide = false; // AND test failed if we never encountered a false result else bHide = true; -------------- We have comments now! ;)
