Barbara unlocked the door. If you pass the parameter with no quotes (turns out that the parameter just needs to be 'this', it carries the entire object reference to the method. Pretty slick. Works like a charm. I tried the '&' when passing with quotes and it told me the property didn't exist. Don't know why not. Seemed like it would. Thanks for the help.
