Hi Jim

>Unfortunately, I am not able to replicate the behavior you have described. My steps:

Yes those were my steps too, but something is a variable here, no problem, if I notice something else I will let you know. Thanks.

>(B) There's a problem with balancing the timer so that it fires often enough to do its job but not so often to get in the way of other activities. For the situation you describe, just click on the (disabled) PEMEditor -- you don't have to wait for it to refresh.

Yes, but on second thoughts and maybe you already have it in code, if the PEMed is deactivated fire the timer at whatever frequency, when PEMed has focus, meaning I am working on pems no timer (reason is if I am switching object PEMed has to loose focus)

>Can you duplicate this and provide specifics?

I tried to recreate it but could not, probably something is my class hierarchy, no problem.

>(D) Noted. We will investigate. Wait. Property Window can't delete it either?

No when I right click in the property window I can only come to PEMed to delete a pem.

Thanks for your continued responses.
