I don't want to know! Argghhhh!!! :-)

Seriously though, some of the biggest problems I've had with maintaining others' Windows code, is because of the abuse of variants.

It does have its purpose though, but I fail to see why one would want to use that in a database. Also maybe because I'm an old Pascal programmer - Pascal by nature has very strict type definition.
