Action #1:  
_Action type:_ **Format value**  
_Field:_ **ARTIST**  
_Formatstring:_ **%ORIGARTIST%**

Please use a more descriptive title the next time.

Thanks for the quick response, and I'll try to be more descriptive.

But then again who needs to be more descriptive when there are people like you that know what we (noob's) are talking about. 😛
