Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Ruud, I realize this is not specific to the current beta so am posting it here in the hopes of borrowing your ear. The macro @ProductSuite returns a string instead of integer. It is causing a lot of confusion with users when they try to do a bitwise AND on the result. There is no mention in the manual of the VarType returned. If you will not change the VarType could you at least mention it in the manual? Here is just one of the many posts on @ProductSuite: Topic: Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services installed. TIA [ 08.

Thus, I'd definitely classify this as a bug. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
