Hi Luiz
 
Thanks for the speedy reply

Ooops, yes that is the better way of doing it. I did type that originally but I changed it as I wrongly thought the following graphics = nil line would cause the acme table to get its graphics table entry also deleted. Newbie alert !
 
Anyway, the main gist of my question still applies, which of the 3 options listed is the better way of doing this?
 
Regards Geoff 
 
PS. looks like I double posted somehow, sorry not sure what caused that.
