See the comments I made to Ron.

IsString(value) must be replaced by TypeOf(value) = gb.String.

And more generally, IsXXXX(value) must be replaced by TypeOf(value) = gb.XXXX

Only IsNull() has been kept. The other IsXXXX() functions now check if a 
string can be converted safely to a boolean, an integer, a long, a float or a 
date.

But you should tell in which context you use IsString(), to be sure that you 
didn't make a mistake by using it at the first place.

svn update -r <REVISION> to update your local copy of Gambas sources to the 
revision <REVISION>.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
