Or is it just as fats to use the macro throughout the code? I was always adiment about: $ws = @WKSTA and then using $ws from there on. Lately I have been using @WKSTA more throughout the code. Which is better?

I think that last concensus was that KiXtart does a much better job of caching the data and therefore it is no longer suggested to store all macro values in variables. I am sure I will be corrected if I have mis-spoken. Edited by Howard Bullock (2005-12-05 07:59 PM) _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/
