I didn't know about the "$CURRENT" call. Interesting but the MAT is part of MAT set product I am updating and I'd rather not have to have people make sure the nails are selected. The figure that has the different material name is not a major one so I'm not going to worry about it. It's just when I saw that the set was not working on it, I investigated and that got me writing my post. Thanks for the "$Current" notion though - knowing that might help me in some other endeavor.
