Gidday Mark, Om my machine, your script does not work, using the example files you provided, unless I amend your script's syntax to the one I posted earlier.

All of the steps I included in my rewrite of your script were necessary to get the right result. <shrug> 10.3.9, FMP 6.0v4. Cheers! Joe > That is what I thought.
