Ick, that's horrendously ugly and makes code very difficult to read. What I did was to check for an instance in the returned VarBind, and if there's no instance, convert the OID to numeric format, lop off the last element (in this case, "0") and use that as the instance, then convert the OID back to text. Works like a treat and I save my full-stop key and the sanity of anyone else looking at my code :-) Peter -- Peter Hicks | e: [email protected] | g: 0x5DA31330 | w: www.poggs.com A: Because it destroys the flow of the conversation Q: Why is top-posting bad? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
