You should have been able to modify the hack I gave you to do that with Check Boxes to support up to a limited number of open documents. The Script you accepted as your solution hangs on my machine when I select just some of the open documents to be copied to. Like doc 3 5 and 9. I have to use the Windows Task Manager to Kill Photoshop. I do not have an issue like that when I modify the Hack I gave you. CopySelectedtoSelected.jsx
