Hmm. I hadn't thought of that. That's an interesting approach. The math to determine the rect of a field based on the clicklocation on the fly might be hairy, and I'm not sure that MC would hold up to some users who "machine gun" click. 'Course I could be wrong. It could probably be done. But like you said, what I'm doing is working well (and I'm almost done!) so I'll probably just go with it... Thanks also to Wilhelm Sanke for his posted benchmarks about MC and multiple fields. It does seem that MC can handle 2,000 - 3,000 fields pretty well. -- :) Richard MacLemale Network Administrator J.
