Hi, not sure i used the correct terminology, correct me if im wrong.
I want to remove a 4 way slide switch and replace with a push button switch that has 5 outputs that i can hook to relays. or it they can push out over 200ma. Again schematic / circuits appreciated.
What's the voltage associated with the "200mA"? Do the circuits to be switched by the circuit or relays have a common ground? Are the selections to be 4 outputs and an OFF, selected one at a time?

I suggest to have the counter being reset by Q6(pin5). That way you'll get "all Off", or shift the diode network from Q0 upwards (leaving Q0 unused) and still reset from Q6.
I assumed you will correct everything of your schematic.
Connections SW, R, C and CLK have no junction.
The same applies to the gate discharge resistors of the two bottom transistors, where the latter missing junctions are self explanatory (meaning there must be a connection).
That sometimes happens when exporting a ExpressPCB schematic to a .BMP, cropping it down in Microsoft Picture Manager, and then exporting as a.gif.
There should be a junction there, as well as at the top of each gate resistor. I'm going to have to find a way around that problem.
you might think about downloading and using "Screenshot Captor" from donationcoder.com.
Nothing to export! Just zoom in the desired part of the display and "shoot" it. Save it as "gif" file and cut the unwanted part using any graphic software.
Even if you miss some lines or see them very faintly on your display after cutting they will be enhanced by the forum's software.
Decided to play a little with the ExpressPCB export. Found my problem with the missing connections. Though the intersecting wire connections appear to be there on the screen...little gray boxes at the junctions...the actual connections were never make. The gray boxes were just the wire ends. It would have been caught had I linked it to the PCB layout program.
just to throw a wrench into the works, but instead of having the 4017 reset from otput 6, couldn't you just double up the outputs to use all of them? i see no reson why it can't be done. Boncuk, what circuit simulation software are you using?
