I did say that I've tested this before. :hehe:

Ah, but where would I be if I didn't insist on writing test-scripts to test everything?

Absolutely correct. "A Developer must NOT guess... a Developer must KNOW!" Taking my (or anyone else's) word for it would be absolutely the wrong thing to do and, no, I'm not being sarcastic or ironic there at all. You DID answer your own question and that's the way it should be done.

As a side bar, I did finish part 1 of an article that uses the test table generation methods that you, me, and several other people here have come to love. It comes out on (IIRC) March 26th here on SSC.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
