If your proplist is trying to make a prop out of a string that starts with a number then it can't create a symbol prop, so it creates a string prop
this can be saved as a string (one might say 'strung') into a field or text member, but then using value() to reconstruct fails miserably & the proplist can't be retrieved/reconstructed. hth -Buzz At 4:22 PM -0500 6/13/02, you wrote: >So I've got this hugeass ....proplist.
