Hi Mark I may have inadvertently misled you, my apologies. I am actually using 2006 GB, sorry I did not realize, in my haste. I was using some Shapefile in an initial test but I am developing this for use with OS MasterMap gz/gml files. So the feature types would always be in from the same dataset. For my initial test I did select multiple shapefiles and add them as one dataset, as you said. I am still getting the same merging effect though. Adrian
