yes Horstl, i think that would work out better.. as i din't even think about making a combination of the points.. but, yes i chose a goto loop because my script is setup in such a way that it has many initial triggers that if matched, activate different points in the loop and each point does slightly different things.. so you suggestion along with info from another post i saw, should help reduce some coding and hopefully make it more efficient.. laugh

thank you for your suggestions..
