I know you've found a workaround now, but I'm curious: Where does "rownum" get its value? Do the button names match their labels exactly? Your handler references the buttons by name ("button thisButton") but then looks at their labels. If they don't match, the handler won't be working with the

The names and the labels for each button are the same? Other than the one with the question mark which is named tile1# in the same pattern as the others, but has the "?" label? As mentioned above, it sounds like the name of some of your buttons may be duplicates. After triple checking that again

Larry, it seems to work fine here, I tried LC 6.1.3 as I don't keep RC versions, but I'm also on a Mac, however, at least it proves the script sample is fine. Just a thought, could the label of button "?" also have a space or return char in the name? Maybe try swapping the "=" for "contains"

Thanks jbv. Can't think of any better ways to do it so I guess just hope there isn't a size limitation. If you do run into a size limitation, another possibility might be to use a temporary table to hold the names to be excluded then use a SELECT something like: SELECT name FROM Names LEFT JOIN
