Hi Chuck, If I create another patch w/o the external I don't get this behavior at all. Though if I create the patch w/ the external then delete it, save it and open it, there have been times where the behavior returns w/o the external. I'll go through my pd object code again. As you mention there could be symbol pointer that is not accessed or allocated correctly. -Rob
