nice nice nice nruddock - I never even thought to try that. good idea and I appreciate it. Now all I need to do is skip out of work so I can go home and try it. :o)   Don't know if it would work but parenting foot to foot, leg to leg etc. "sounds" logical. make the skeleton invisible and boom.... it's worth a shot.

Thanks all - it's appreciated and I'll let you know if it works or not.
