Hi Doug,

Thanks a lot for that code. That helped a lot!

>>But when it gets to the addition of the "Test2" group then I receive the error that I mentioned in my original post. loGroup is not initialized properly. So if I understand this error correctly it tells me that no node for "Test" was not created but what I don't get is why I did'nt get an error message for the creation of that "Test" group.
