The first is cast to the type of the second, but it's actually (and I just learned this by looking it up just now) not due to the order of the operands, but rather due to a precedence of types, as long as neither operand is a node-set: If one is a boolean, the other becomes a boolean. If neither is a boolean and one is a number, the other becomes a number. Otherwise (i.e., one is an RTF or extension type), both are converted to strings. Mike -- Mike J.
