    I know I've seen this years ago, but can't remember where. I'm looking for a
    routine that will bring a pop up box that has layer names and a description
    of what belongs on each layer, then the user can select the ones they want
    created. I would also like to see a main box that would precede this layer
    definition box, giving the user a chance to select a certain category of
    layers to be displayed in that box only. For example, the main box could
    have different disciplines such as Surveying and Engineering or even types
    of layers such as existing layers and proposed layers. I basically am
    looking for the main box to be customizable.

    I do have an old AIAlayerguide routine that I never used, it had what I was
    looking for, however, I wanted to change the main box choices since I don't
    deal with architectural, landscaping, electrical and several others. I could
    edit the layer selections of each discipline, but had to remember what
    layers each discipline actually contained.

    Hope I'm clear as to what I'm looking for and not confused anyone.

    jbImportLayers; a programming example that illustrates the use of ObjectDBX
    and ObjectDCL. It's probably close to your needs and with the source code
    provided you could easily modify it. Search the CF NG (Customer Files News
    Group).
