The "create group" command does return the id of the new group in "it" but the group command doesn't. I'm reminded of a thread I kicked off a few months ago concerning the fact that "last group" doesn't always return the group created with a group command. The dictionary recommends using "last gr

Oh hey, there you go. Well then isn't that the solution to the problem? Just set the name of the control referenced in it right after the group is recreated, or do I misunderstand the issue? It seems to me that having a group that has been ungrouped and then regrouped retain it's name is actua

Thanks for the info. It's been a while since I ran into this problem so my memory is hazy but I'm pretty sure that there was no nesting of groups involved. I guess I should take a look at the bug that was mentioned and see if it matches what happened to me. Pete Molly's Revenge
