I'm in the process of documenting how this works, but I'm having to do it experimentally, since I can't seem to find a set of rules about how overrides work. Anyone have any additional information about this? Thanks, Mykel -- I'm just an unfrozen caveman software developer. I don't understand your strange, "modern" ways. ------=_Part_10791_32798088.1166118509264--
