PMDG axis assignment

I've been attempting to program the spoilers as well as the flaps to the axis levers for the PMDG 737-6/700 on my CH TQ without success. I've tried FSUIPC (registered ver.3.7) as well as the assigment page in FS9. Once in a while I can get the spoilers to function correctly, although it's not permanent since a short while later it no longer functions. As far as the flaps settings, I'm unable to get them to move in increments and the lever jumps all over the place.Has anyone been able to accomplish this? I really don't like the CHCM for programming a 'map', just too confusing.Thanks ahead of time,Jim
