Hi many thanks for the reply but I am totally new to this type of programming. I honestly do not know where to place the syntax at the moment, no pun intended. The only way I have managed to get round this problem is to physically place the player in each room that I have to check out and run it from there. I know that it is probably the long way round and once again many thanks. I hope I can get into this type of programming as I will hopefully create a sort of semi decent adventure. Cheers
