Does this mean the storage element (numbered from >zero)? If so that means, abc spans storage element zero bits 0..7 and def >spans storage element 1 bits 0..7. Is this correct? Yes. Think of them as offsets in storage elements (usually bytes) from the start of the record. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
