Complex Loading in Factor Analysis (PCA)

rsling
Dear All,
 
Finally i decided to use Factor Analysis instead of CATPCA for my research.

I tried to run a sequence of steps to reduce item one by one.
The 2nd last step in the sequence is to look for complex loading (load >.40 in more than 1 component), and I have difficulties when there is more than 1 item found to have complex loading.

Shall I reduce them all at once or one by one?
I tried both but found that the "variance account for" keep dropping, in this case, shall i continue?
If not, what should i do with those items with complex loading?
 
Regards,
rsling
