Edward,
1990 NEC 210-7(d)Ex. allows a GFCI Receptacle to replace a 2 prong receptacle where a grounding means does not exist.

Guys,
Don't have a 90 NEC, but I believe it does not "require" a GFCI but "allows" it.

Bob, I did say "allows", but if a 3 prong receptacle is to be installed where there is no grounding means, GFCI protection is required. Bill [This message has been edited by Bill Addiss (edited 04-12-2003).]

Bill, You said "allow", Edward said "requirement", but you are right on the GFCI if you go to 3 prong and don't provide a ground.
How do you get that smiley in the text body?
