Try this: on idle if the time is not field "time" then -- "if" so you don't update it needlessly get the selectedchunk -- preserve what was selected put the time into field "time" select it -- reselect what was selected end if end idle Steve Martin USENET: {ctvax,im4u,texsun,rice}!ti-csl!martin The opinions in this ARPANET: SMARTIN@CSC.TI.COM COMPUSERVE: 72727,1471 article are my own.
