Hi Chad,
If you are using NameMapping to refer controls in your script. You can use "Enteded Find" in NameMapping to skip through intermediatery panels.
Even then, initially you have to add all the panels in tree structure to reach the required control to be accessed and then change its hierarchy (to required point of reference) with the NameMapping window. Now enable "Entended Find" check box (refer to help topic Extended Find) for the same control required to access.
Once you are able to access the control from this point of your reference, all the the remaining intermediate controls can be deleted.
Regards,
Satya.
