Thanks Mike,

I have used PMfakeout, from Drew, for years, but I think it was before we had project hooks available and I have not updated to automate it. I just copy lines in manually, or external array references and so on.

I do use the hooks to make backup copies of all of my project's contents before they are modified, but I never applied that to the pjx and pjt themselves!

I guess I will do a new project build and clean house!!

Thanks again.

Al Allison
