Hi yes i did read the manual that is where i got the idea for using the affected rows from in the first place because i have not used it before.

My question came from the fact that i did not realize that on a delete specifically that when an id is not found it does nothing but result true, i thought i would give some notice that the record was not found and i have always coded for that fact using result.

Now i know that some of my statement from the past will always be true, i just did not realize that on a delete it would always be true even if the record did not exist.

I do appreciate your help but i also somewhat resent the implication that i did not refer to the manual first, it was just a misunderstanding.

Thanks.
