Thanks, UpdateAllViews() will probably do the job. I did not realize that UpdateAllViews() has two user type parameters that I can use to pass my control data. Also, someone reminded me that the CFormView Object and the actual Window are two different things. So a "Direct" call (as I was calling it) goes to the object which will eventually pass messages to the attached window anyway. I knew that :zzz:, but was getting lost in the Doc/View world :confused: . Thanks for your time to respond !!!!! :) John

I can exit VC++, go right back in, and all the classes will be moved back under the main project folder in ClassView. It doesn't happen every time, but every few days or so. I'm not physically deleting the .opt file or anything. I happens on my Notebook as well as my normal desktop. Thanks for the input.
