Peculiar? I see that you have commented that y=0 is an error, I assume that you are using that internally. If you do mod any number with 0, that is a math error because it is a divide by zero exception. Why it came up as floating point exception would depend on how the compiler arbitrated the evaluation of the if clause I think. Regards, Les H
