Hi,

I am trying to write a piece of code that will enable me to validate
two ranges to determine whether or not they overlap. I can determine
fairly easily if one is contained wholly within the other but not if
they only partially overlap. Any suggestions on how I could approach
this problem would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

As an aside, what is your code for determining if one is contained within
the other?
