I've been doing it for about 10 years longer. Comments are the MOST IMPORTANT part of your programming. Your code says WHAT you are doing. Comments say WHY you are doing it. Two entirely different things - and the why is more important than the what. You've obviously never worked on large projects with multiple programmers, or in a structured programming environment. Both demand the need for comments - and for good reason. And the fact you had to find a wiki by some unknown "programmer" on the internet to "prove" your case shows just how weak it is. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry Stuckle JDS Computer Training Corp. jstucklex@attglobal.net ==================
