Why is Not not Not?
 

As far as I can tell, both your "IFs" say the same thing. In your first "IF"
you have your code to execute in the "else" portion of the statement which is
like saying "Not".

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?

I KNOW that they say the same thing!!! That is my point!!!

Whilst they both say the same thing, they do not behave the same!

What is the return type for waitforinputready() ? Is it a boolean, or
something else?
