Speaking of which, has anybody taken a look at the code example that
goes along with the Reset help? I can't ever imagine opening and/or
closing files that way. It'd be almost as bad as using Exit Do!

What's wrong with an Exit Do ? (Unless I'm missing something in the
context.)

It goes back to a never-ending debate that happened recently (and once
before, several months ago). I'm one of a VERY few people in this
group who comes from a highly structured programming background and
refuses to use things like Exit For, Exit Do, etc. Knowing that I'm
in the minority, this was a laughing reference to my apparent
weirdness. :)

Fair enough, everyone's got their programming idiosynchronicities. I
hadn't seen the debate a few months ago, I come in and out of here
depending on my programming load.

I guess I don't really have a full understanding about structured
programming then. I wouldn't see using an Exit xxx as being un-
structured.

To each his own.
