type search

Can I cycle through my type untill I find one of the feilds with a certain value

Yes. I wish there was a more direct way to do it, but you'll have to do something like:

For t.yourtype = Each yourtype
  If t\yourvar = 25 Then
    ;you found it
  End If
Next

yeh I had got that and now I am sure it isn;t taht bad though!
