>Thanks, I think you gave me the answer. I was trying to make this work using the foundation class as a prelude to creating it in my own class. I guess what I am wanting to do is only possible through modifying the class, and I have to be in my own class and not the foundation class. And that is where I was going when this whole problem came up.
