For all those familiar with my code post for setting the Description field in the configuration properties (thread559-132436), I finally got my wish. With the release of service pack 4.0 for SolidWorks 2006, that code is no longer needed. Added is the $DESCRIPTION parameter. I have not been able to find it in the 4.0 help yet but after getting notified by SW that it was added, I tried it out. It worked great in my limited test. I guess it does pay (sometimes) to send in enhancements requests. For all those who have asked about this functionality, enjoy.

Regards,
