AKA I found out that yeasterday I wrote a code like this
if (blnVariable == true) {
setVal(CODE, true);
} else {
setVal(CODE, false);
}Luckily I got it before someone could shame me forever about it (including myself).

Yeah, that bracket layout sucks! Shame on you!!! :mad:

Was
blnVariableever nullable? But then, even if it was, you could have just used:setVal(CODE, blnVariable == true);

It's not, and I know precisely what I could have used :D I was probably just tired or distracted by my many other tasks.

spoiler below... :-D Right? Right? :-\ I'm trying out for the Department of the Obvious -- I'm hoping to be a Captain! :laugh:
setVal(CODE, blnVariable);

Yep, you are now promoted to Admiral Obvious :D

Looks like you might have typed it exactly how you thought it...if this variable over here is true than this other variable has to set to true too.

I knew with hard work, gratuitous flattery and a monetary bribe I would eventually get the promotion. :laugh: ahem...I believe your forgot to upvote me. I may be forced to report you to the moderator. :rolleyes:
Using CP from smartphone is painful :D mainly because I write too much and I definetely can't write anything from a teeny tiny phone.

Yeah, they are far better like this: if (blnVariable = true) { setVal(CODE, true); } else { setVal(CODE, false); }

If you've replaced that with:
setVal(CODE, bInVariable);
you've introduced a bug whenever `bInVariable` is equal to `FileNotFound`.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Impossible as it is VisualBasic (I put it in C only to not hurt anyone sensibility) and not .NET (yes, tried and true VB6, that's what I have to work with) so it is a Boolean that can be only True or False and it is initialized to False. If there was such a possibility I would have kept the code as it was, of course.

That goes to show that you just can't win; and not just because you're working in VB6. :doh:
