Well not really. From my knowledge just putting "int" as the data type will make an integer which can vary between short or long I think( in a technical way, sorry it's 1:04am and I want to go to bed). But when you write the int to a file it writes it as a long, same a reading. Amazing? I always get by this problem by specifically defining a short or a long. I think this is good practice. -- ---All words by--------------------------- ---"Shiny Blue Freak", AKA Aaron JP------- -"I'm a person, think of me as non other"- --------http://get.to/blahblur------------
