Paul, yes you can add that control in VBA and I'm sure with Tony's SetLISPVar function a value can be ported to lisp. Bob, you need to check out those functions in Module1 of the project I posted - really slick way of utilizing the VL application!
Kerry - thanks.
Sorry I don't have time to help out guys - I'm enhancing my keynotes routine and having a helluva time with dictionary stuff in VBA: arrays, variants, xrecordData - argh!!!
