Thank you for the reply, Pierre. I do have much of the learning curve behind me, and I have to remember that I did not learn Ecco in a day. I know this is going to sound a bit strange, but sometimes when I am in the program, I get the same feeling as I did when I tried to evaluate UR. Too many properties boxes for my brain to handle! Ecco has a kind of simple elegance, but then Ecco was not designed to do what IQ can do. Also, IMHO, Ecco has the best help files that I have ever seen written for a program. There is something about how the help files were written that made them extremely easy for me to understand what I needed to accomplish a task at hand. I should probably put a bit more time into learning IQ, as it seems to address much of what I want in a program.
