Okay but please also take into consideration what I tried to imply above: Since you are doing what looks a major logic change in the next patch, it might be okay to _not use_ that return value until then if you e.g., need to add lots of rollback that isn't there already to the code that is going away anyway in the next patch. (After all, returning an error code from a function that was void previously isn't going to magically break the old calling code). -- i.
