yup - one hot to the switchbox two returns to the fan one for the fan one for the light.
YUP that's what I did! and it works like a charm. Funny how back in the old days they could use that ceiling fan box as a junction box for branches...not sure if that would pass NEC today?....not being readily accessible without dismantling the fan etc. the switch box is another one but readily accesible.

IS it common practice to to use 3-wire like that?

thanks for the come back
