Depends whether or not the add() has been done to hook things into the driver model tree, as I recall. The add() presumes things are properly refcounted. When you make a driver model tree node vanish, its associated refcounts get updated too. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
