No, that's not the problem. My code actually has the quotes, (don't know why they stripped out in the paste operation), but as stated by the other 2 fellas, the change isn't detected until after the Interactivechange event has fired. Alternatively, I could to a replace to force the change, but then that defeats the purpose of buffering, and screws up the functionality of any abort operations.

It loks like the old manual method is called for here.
