    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.

    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.

      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, 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`.

                    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.

                      Could you actually have written something else and realized you had "identical" code in both clauses of the if statement, leading to the obvious replacement with your function calls. You just hadn't made the next step yet.

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

                                  "Yeasterday" -- is that when some planet is rising? ;P I found myself trying to type C# source into an Xcode Swift editor yesterday. Preoccupation is the nature of our work, I think. alan

                                    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).

                                    Please tell me you did not fix it by introducing a method to handle it! :) :) :)
