additionally if you want to have the callerid to include office1 when calling office2, you could change the callerid using Set(CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(name)} Office 1) just before sending through to office 2 Something along those lines anyway, not entirely sure on the syntax or if there's a better way to do it.. but i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong :) Geraint
