Re: finding an effigy
Ok, that sounds good. Is there an easy method for getting the effigy of that workflow? When I do a Configuration.findEffigy(), it returns null. I'm not sure how to get a pointer to that open workflow from a random place in the code. thanks, chad Edward A.

Thanks, Edward! That worked. chad Edward A. Lee wrote: I think you probably need to create a DocEffigy and set it's container to be the container of the effigy for the model.
