Paul, that is exactly what i was trying to do but didn't know how, you are awesome. that also eliminates having to write a bunch of code for a new category every time you need to add a new one, I do see that my auto naming of the tabs has been "removed" but i understand why with the new function, so my follow up question would be if i manually renamed the tabs would that cause an issue? i dont think it would because your using the for each method, but im not 100% sure.
