The quirkiness derives from giving it an innocuous intuit inducing moniker like text() that leads the consumer astray. I don't think you have ever said what you _expect_ it to do.

Perhaps you'd want it to do what string() does but that's called string() not text():-) David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
