But it seems to be the way to go. You should be OK if you keep the same values, but swap them around. That is, don't make up new values; you are almost certain to duplicate a value used elsewhere. But if you keep the same set of values and just reorder them, you should be fine. That's something that could be done by a very simple plugin, or maybe just a FrameScript or ExtendScript. I'd write it myself as a freebie if I had time. Any other FDK folks out there who want to? -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy at omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
