Looking now. Thanks BM, Great looking links! Ill let you know how it works out, cause this thing has been bugging me to know end.

Hey sorry I have been away so long, no internet and moving does that to a person.

Lets see, what exactly is the problem??? What are you trying to get it to do??
If I am not mistaken I think they have to be locked to the IK target the main one and not the bones or the IK...wait maybe its the goal??? sheesh,,,,
Cause I had a problem once that was causing some of the other bones to move when and twist when only the requested target was suppose to.
I had to change something, I think its parent target settings, I can look....it has been 3 months since I have done anything creative ............darn house and fixing crap and............ah well.

Oh yeah and Micheal Comets website is pretty awesome, he definetly knows his stuff. I have talked with him several times before when I was in a jam.
