Hi Jacque, That's what I've been doing up to now but if there is a large number of stacks open and/or they have lots of substacks, the option menu choices get really long and hard to locate what you want.
What I was hoping to do is simply list the main stacks when the menu is clicked so it will be a fairly short list, then expand to show the substacks when the mouse is over a main stack name. Anyway, it's looking like there isn;t a way to do what I want so will have to see if I can cobble something together.
