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". HTH "Paul Lautman" wrote: 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?

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! quartz wrote: As far as I can tell, both your "IFs" say the same thing.

What is the return type for waitforinputready() ? Is it a boolean, or
something else? Tim. "Paul Lautman" wrote in message ... I KNOW that they say the same thing!!! That is my point!!!
