Hi Marcia,

Sometimes the easy ones give you the most problems... There was all kind of stuff on the double click timeout in the help files but nothing I saw told me that:

Style = 0 = No Incremental Search
Style = 2 = Incremental Search Ok

< VBG >

... So I guess if you want to have style to be 0 so you can add or edit one could have a control button to toggle back and forth...


Thanks for the rapid reply
