assuming max because of the terminology you used, but need more info - give me the scene if you are willing to and I will have a look. Should work fine, so something must be wonky.

hi onionhead - you have your wiring set to 2 way. set it to 1 way, from attribute to the object and then the keyframes will take. makes sense if you think about it.

hope that helps,
