IIRC, this became accepted because it was misspelled for so long, like some other words in American English. Can I dare dream of the day when ADA becomes an accepted spelling of Ada because it is so commonly misspelled on a large scale because of it's widespread usage? ;-) Of course, if they can't get the name of the=20 language right, their code may be a little suspect as well. And no, I'm not advocating spelling it incorrectly. I don't like it either. Frank
