Well, I didn't say it made working with iTools any
easier. I just said at least you have a place to start. :-)
Just off-hand, did you register all the properties of
your object? This look sort of like an automatic
property setting something, something that has gone
bad. Breakpoints and print statements are my old-fashioned
way of working. Don't know what to tell you beyond that.
Cheers,
David

.....could not agree more!
now here comes the bad part.
Using your code, I did get a very 'elaborate' report on what went
wrong.
Only problem is, I can not make anything out of it.
so once again...
My Dear IDL guru,
HELP...!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I just thought of this. One of the problems
with iTools is that the error messages suck. At least
they suck if you are trying to figure out what the
heck is going on. (I can understand, and I'm even a
little sympathetic to their reasons for not wanting
people mucking around in iTools code, but hey, write
better documentation then!)
So, at one time, I figured out how to add better error
handling to iTools programs. This at least gave
me a line number where I could go and try to figure
out what was going on. Maybe that will help you:

Let me check my ammo. I'll see if I can help.
