Hi Peter,
Thanks for your comments. I did try put behind tab but this didn't work as I expected. The macro comes back to an image its already analysed before it completes the others. I'm running the macro in batch mode and this could be causing complications. I'm familiar with imageID's and use them often, but i'll have to think a lot more carefully about how that will work in the context of this macro. I'd actually completely forgotten you could count the number of open images with nImages, so that will be useful!
Thanks,
Matt
