You cut me deep Tony  . Look at the ph_addtoglobal (for numerics) and the ph_concatglobal (for strings).
These functions are useful because they return the new value of the global and save you some code.

Thats wierd. These functions were added a ways back. Im wondering if the Installer is not overwriting the help file.
Oh my gosh, that must mean you've been missing out on all the new functions .
In any event, you can get the latest help file from this link: http://power-home.com/download/ph-help.chm. Be sure and save it to your hard drive and then open it. For some reason, you cant view the help file on the website (at least I couldnt). It probably has something to do with relative paths and such when the help was constructed.
HTH,
Dave.

I am thinking now that there is no need for a complete statement, as TonyNo pointed out that a Virtual Module cannot have the minus sign... The Code is shorter when I only update the status when the sign is plus... when the outside temp is 0 or below 0 then the virtual Module is not updated with the current temperature... Or I could update the virtual module with an Unknown Status.... Is that possible from a formula or do I have to use SQL in that case?

Peter,
You would have to use SQL in order to set a status to unknown. It's easy enough though:
ph_directsql("update x10unitcode set status = 0 where id = 'A' and unit = 1")
The above statement will set X10 unit A1 to a status of unknown.
Dave.
