To be honest, I hate the idea of splash stack/main stack unless there's a valid user related reason for a splash stack. It just complicates the application stack structure and, if I'm not mistaken, only the splash stack is compiled when you create a standalone, the other stacks being right there in plain view. Dealing with this particular situation is probably two lines of code in a closeStackRequest handler. Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com>
