Thanks for your reply. I tried it and it worked. I also put the expanded property to good use also. But I have another question now. (Sorry I am currently using VFP 5 - there is no object browser - ordered VFP 7 yesterday though) How does the nodecheck event work? Shouldn't it fire if the user clicks on a checkboxe? I think it was behaving that way earlier, but now nothing happens. (I put in messagebox('hello') in the nodecheck event, but when you check it at run time nothing happens)

Thanks,
Chris
