        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`.

            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.

                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:

                      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.
