Thanks for your prompt replies. I have only one object, but it *is* a group of several parts. The picture shows the problem more clearly, I think. (1) is the group object for which the motion path is defined. (2) is the original motion path. (3) is the duplicate that appeared when I tried to adjust one of the points in the original path. (4) shows that there are now two motion path palettes, apparently one for each path! I didn't notice them last night because they were right on top of each other. So yes, mdesmarais, I would call this "verging on broken"! I would appreciate any work-around tips, e.g., only adjust the path using the projections, etc. - Bill
