Hi Cynthia. The simplest way (although probably not the most efficient) is to pass the main insert entity name to the (tblsearch) command and then (entnext) through its subentities until you get to the nested block, then repeat the (tblsearch) on it as needed. I think that this process will work indefinitely — the only part I'm unsure about is that when you use the block definition it is essentially a relative reference, that depends on the insertion point and insertion layer for certain group results. I haven't experimented with it yet… I'll see if I have a routine for stepping through nested entities and pop it into a message to you. Perhaps some of our Adesk buddies could give us a hint. <g> Brian Boatright
