    Ahhh, bitvector (bitmask, bitwise operators, combined flags, flagfield, etc...), my old friend.

    Alright, let's start with the basics. You said you've read up on it but some of your difficulty shows that some of the basics didn't quite make it through.

    You spent some time on that post! Nicely done. I know bitwise operations are "old" technology but it still works great and there's fresh faces out there that think AND is a question. You should write an article on it, Craig.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
