Hi Dragan

>You just gave me the idea to write this little builder:

Thanks a lot for the builder. I tried it when I have selected a very deep seated control and I ran your builder and I can see the whole path. Now I can click on another and judging from the pathname to the control I can guess it is a sibling control or not.

Back to the original problem of this thread, what changes would you suggest I do after I get a textbox to accept a control name so that it returns the path(s) to the same named controls. Then maybe a something like the old _CUROBJ variable is set and the control is highlighted.
