Wrong list I think Max... William, As to why its an issue I guess its because forms are partial classes, so it is legal and valid to have more then 1 cs file with the same class name. Refactor changes all names within the namespace, so change the namespace then rename then change the namespace back. You will need to change the namespace in the designer as well. cheers MM Or ExportAs Text and then ImportAsText aka EATBloat.
