Why is Not not Not?
 

Sure it's not because you have

irn = Not ir

I've was having terrible trouble trying to figure out why I couldn't get
some OLE code to work with the IBM Personal Communications Emulator.

A lot of tracing through and I found that Not wasn't working.

In the code in the attached picture, if I un-comment the line "ir = True"
then everything works fine. But as it stands (and as the picture shows),
both ir and Not ir are both True!!!

If I code:

If oia.waitforinputready(10000) Then
Else
msg = "Initialisation (check Call Entry)"
GoTo toolong
End If

Then all works as expected. But if I code:

If Not oia.waitforinputready(10000) Then
msg = "Initialisation (check Call Entry)"
GoTo toolong
End If

Then the "True" leg is always executed???

Anybody got any ideas?

But look at the Locals window.

It shows that ir = True and irn = True and yet the code sets irn = Not ir
