Yes, thats what I ended up doing last night. As you say, it works but just seems a little 'rough'
Just seems a shame, that while using MVCS, and being able to reinitialize the model I have to go to such extremes to remove unwanted display objects and components. I can see why of course, but I just wish I had a more elegant method. for now though, it's a reload. It'll do. thanks for the replies glenn
