Hi Sarah, Thanks for taking a look ! I am not unaware that the code I used was both verbose and non-optimized. Believe it or not, this was deliberate! My rationale is this: A complete newbie, non-programmer, could probably look at a series of if-then-end ifs and understand what was going on

Hi Michael, When you launch Rev 2.5, a little window should come up that _is_ RevOnline. It should have a little, narrow, left pane that has things like (this is from memory, so may not b e 100% accurate) Home, Training Center, User Spaces... and a wide right pane that has a bunch of graphics.

Hi Judy, Good tutorial and the PDF is a neat touch and very well put together. However I suggest you have a look at the menuPick message which makes handling tabs much easier. When using one card per tab, here is the script I use: on menuPick pCardName go to card pCardName end menuPick For
