Imbuter2000, I really would not worry about it too much. The nature of AutoIt makes it difficult to avoid Global variables - so if you feel the need to use them then do so. Personally I would rather have legible code with some sensible Global variables than a psuedo-elegant web of parameters passed between functions - remember you are going to have to maintain this code in the future. Just try and avoid making every variable in the script Global in scope - that is not the way to go. M23
