Hi Carlton,

IsEditable is the only one I can access.  I need to be able to retrieve a picklist (which i can do), then find out if it is multi select and then create a new pick list with the same attribute.  I have found the IsMultiSelect attribute in the SDK documentation but I don't know how to access it.
