>I build a shape based on some data. I would like to have another copy of the shape. Is there a quick way to copy all the layout properties of an object or do I have to code each property indivually -- shp2.top = shp1.top, shp2.left = shp1.left, etc...? There are actually dozens of shapes I need to copy, so this could be a big time saver. Thanks for any feedback.

You can use AMEMBERS(object name,1) to create an array of properties, instantiate a new instance of the class, and then spin through the array copying the value from one to the other. Some properties are read-only at runtime, so you'd need to trap errors resulting from trying to write to a read-only property...
