Oh, I understand- it's a work-around for a routine that was hard-coded. The specs had not taken into account that the end-users may do something unexpected in these situations. I used to write technical specs and know how hard it is to come up with all use cases. Users are unpredictable creatures!
Anyway, it's a funny solution to the problem, isn't it? In my line of work, I've seen a lot of work-arounds, some elegant, some not, but this is the most interesting I've seen- instead of writing new routines for all the possible places where an error could occur, they just wrote one new routine that would be called when the error condition is met. Very clever!
I had not realized it was a bug fix. Thanks for the 411. [img]smile.gif[/img]
