500-1000 text blocks..even more depending on the complexity of the ad

i don't think the hard x would be the issue...since once its checked  
and saved those hard x's are no longer

open it again....  but it should find nothing.... since those x's  
have been eliminated...on close it and drags

script..i will try it..thank you

could this be a os issue...drive sync..no clue
