You have to get away from your computer. He suggested even a week of "not" thinking about it for a toughie. Then when you revisit the problem, the answer will be right under your nose. I just think about the problem while walking. The details are cleared away so I have to think more abstractly. I ask myself , what could be failing that created those symptoms. I am not looking for particular code, just thinking about code that does some function. It is a different sort of thinking than trying to decide if a line of code is faulty. Of course Murphy's law says the most likely time for the answer to come to you is one second after hitting submit. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function. ~ Dr. Albert A.
