That indeed was the problem: the "int i" declaration was considered to be out of the loop scope, and thus declared twice in the same scope (the function). Ick. I found a short discussion here: http://www.mvps.org/vcfaq/lang/1.htm. I do believe it has been fixed in recentish versions of VC++, though. -- Words of the day: CID Capricorn CIDA Commecen Adriatic spies clandestine
