I see. I did not see COMMONPATH as a constant. I am used to my code and constants are as _CONSTANT_. Your code is very very clean as Bruce said it would be. I just have to become familiar with it.

>When you say you removed the path, what did you change it to?

DO setup

Since setup was bound into the project I did not see any reason for a path. I am sure you have a good reason to do this this way.

I thought I understood the free tech support very clearly. It is when I ask a question addressed directly to oakleaf@... I was waiting to kick in free tech support by providing you with a list of questions about your framework when I found some things that at that time I knew that I would not be able to get around on my own or via a public form such as this. I am expecting that your answer to this question would not kick start free tech support. I am not ready for that. I am dissapointed in the learning curves but that has nothing to do with your framework. I do not want it to be so easy that I am cornered in the long run in my ability to create much more maintainable code than I was able to before; and I have very maintainable code in 26 dealing with some fairly complicated problems. I am very very impressed.
