Andy,thx for answering.
It is however not a usable option for my models.
When i divide and combine i'm always left with unneeded vertices.
Not only thta, the divide option is nice in my example (a cube) but whne talking about more detailed objects tjis is a pain....
Especially when, after a while i need to divide a surface again AFTER i did some tweaking.
Because of the extra vertices created the new divide screws it up completely.
As an example:
create a cube, select a surface, divide, combine 2 surfaces, tweak the 2 small surfaces (extrude or something) the realize the other needs to be divided as well. divide again and VOLA...8 more divisions instead of 1 edge.

How to solve:
divide, combine and delete leftover vertices, divide again.

So there is a solution for this but it's a bit longwinded.
Especially since almost any modeler has a simple "connect vertex" command which creates a new surface.

Or is it possible to divide in just one direction instead of a cross division?
