Hi Sylvano, I think you will get very little response to your query because the nature of what you are trying to do is completely wrong. Back up a bit and describe why you think you need to parse a string to determine true or false. All I can think of is that you are posting a form with various selection criteria obtained from several listboxes set to TRUE or FALSE. There must be a better way of handling the user interface, or these responses, rather than parsing them as strings. Give us a bit more information.
