Mike B As I have the 'understanding syntax problem' , could you define the 4 arguments ? Are you saying that should be a drop down menu that would have 4 property commands ie 'start stop forward reverse Are you saying that the property command I have in the current button should be <<property component_id 'CALL_PROCEDURE Controls.FastForward' ' '>>
