I'll tell you what is a shame...Not using CF for 6 years and forgetting everything that you once thought you knew. Geez, now that is a shame, believe me cause I just picked it up again 2 days ago and cannot remember jack squat about how to do it anymore. I thought about giving MX a try, but hell I cannot remember version 5 stuff.
