Tony, Really, in all honesty there was so much that was the same just in a different place. I will admit the querry deal needs a bit of work to make it more usable, bur most of it is really very similar. The biggest thing I have trouble with when you select something on the design the browser or navigator area does not reflect what you selected. You need to look down at the message area. The tough one I went through was Cadnetix to Veribest's first couple releases. Just before Mentor bought them they finally really had a tool. Bob Wolfe
