Hi Andrew, When the HyperCard stack was imported, Revolution automatically set the 'HCAddressing' property to true, to allow older scripts to work properly. When you create a new project, Revolution will set this property to false ; hence the difference in behaviour. Hope this clarified it, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
