That said, there are members who have placed hundreds of screens in their app, and it runs well. Keep in mind that if you use the 'customURL' to display a site, and you have 200 'instances' of the plugin, you're really only using 'one' screen 200 times. So even if you have a few hundred screens, you're really only using 'one' instance per screen 'type'. 2) You can display either a 'grid' or a list. At the top of a list view, you can sort by name, screen type, or modified date. That's about as 'organized' as it gets, but sorting alphabetically has always been the easiest for me. Hope you enjoy BT, and stop by the forums if you have questions! Cheers! -- Smug Comments Welcome to Buzztouch! 1) The only 'real' limit is the memory of the device.

Focus on your content, not the mechanics. Cheers! -- Smug Comments Well, no... I'm just saying that number of screens shouldn't be a problem. Focus on your content, not the mechanics.
