Thanks for clarifying. There is a kindof inheritance ... from the defaults. So each instance has to overrride the defaults, rather than overriding the parent instance. Guessit's just how I see it. There are sure some parameters that'd be useful to share from the parent, and others that aren't and would probly cause more problems. EIther way can work I just wanted to be clear. Roger
