I think I might have another way for you to do it... With images, you can set the ID of the image...
So... -- first, find a safe id number to use Create button "tempbutton" Put the id of button "tempbutton" into tID Delete button "tempbutton" -- then copy and set the id of the image Copy the image "my image" to card 5 Set id of it to (tID + 1) Set the name of image id (tID+1) to "copied image" -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter T.

All my creation was done on a handler in the "invisible" card. I finally gave up and locked the screen and went to the card and then returned. I was just looking to see if anyone else had run into the ID being 0 issue and if it is supposed to be that way.
