Hell Jim,

Doh... didn't see that at even though I had that file wide open on the monitor.

Thanks that did the trick. Added "friend class GlobalMasterBabak" to NamdState.h.
Now I have realtime lattice information in my GlobalMasterBabak class.
Nice...

Thank you for the help.

Brian

"friend class Controller" in NamdState.h
