Therefore, I'll volunteer (though I'm sure I don't know what I'm getting myself into. :-) But, where to get the info to create such a table? Can anyone give me any pointers to code, regression tests, anything that would show what casts are possible, and I'll take that and put it into a nice table for the docs. TIA! Kevin
