Thanks...
I went thru your code ... bottom line ... it provides a solution for me ...
but here are some observations.
IsEmpty() works OK with uninitialized STATIC variables, but not with
regular AFL variables.
Ara
//This line works OK
if( IsEmpty(StaticVarGet("IsInitialized7")))
{
a=1;
}
//This Line generates error "variable NOT initialized"
if( IsEmpty(IsInitialized3))
{
b=1;
}
