Thus, the command you want is: set the name of button "New Button" to "junk" Something similar should work for new cards and new fields. Charles

Safer is: set the name of card button the number of card buttons to "junk" That way you'll always get the most recent button. With "New Button" you might get an earlier button that you hadn't renamed. Works for fields too, of course. -john rieman@boulder.colorado.edu U. of Colo.
