Yep, they are legal identifier names, so they don't have to be quoted. It is still valid syntax to quote them, just not *required*. Generally, I prefer not to quote things like this, as it enhances readability. But others may not agree, and prefer to quote them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
