Bob, did you try my method? The way u say it just toggles between the Selection and Direct Selection Tool 	and then I have to hit the Alt key If I'm going to do all of that I rather hit the �a� key and get the Direct Selection.  Just try this for me (I don�t have Illustrator 10 anymore) Select the Direct selection Tool (any way you want to) now hit the Alt key and select an object that is part of a group click on the mouse aging now you should be selecting the next object in the group if you click on the mouse again it should select the next object if that object is part of that �greater� group in till u select all the greater group. I rarely use the Direct Selection Tool. Most of the time I have the Pen Tool ant TOGGLE between the Group Selection arrow by just keying the Ctrl-Alt key and then selecting a line from an object and then I just keep clicking the in till I get all the Objects of a subgroups of a larger group, I like to have many groups and subgroup and subgroups of those subgroups. I wish I could make it more confusing! hehe
