Okay, I already have two seperate files one for each of the characters and their attached items.  I will try that.  I really appreciate all the help folks.  If you ask me about hardware I can tell you most anything, but the nuts and bolts of this software is not something I have had time to get into yet, so I appreciate the non sarcastic help.  A lot of help forums tend to make the poster feel like a complete moron, but here you actually get help.
