I tried reducing these arrays as I felt it was redundant. Not thinking of the memory size at that point, but you would think in reducing the number of arrays storing the same info would reduce memory usage. And it did, but still seems a beggar route when there is a better and more efficient way to do this. Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com
