Now I'm new here so bear with me. Why exactly does this work? Why is it that when handing over the item, changes the way saves work? So that you get this bizzare duplicate item flaw. And ways to fix this is to make sure ONE free file handle is available at all times for saveing and/or using some Relational database system?! Like mySQL? What are the problems of using mySQL? Speed of querey's? Codeing to connect to a mySQL database? Or just over kill? Tony
