hi guys this is my first post to this dev-list... hopefully it wont be the last... i have a aquestion that has been bugging me for quite some time.. i am attempting to create a business directory with xml as data storage. i wish to create business elements that contain the obvious information.. address, contact location etc... however the business type may change from retail to professional to hosplitality....mainly hospitality like pubs and restaraunts.. so finally here is my question: *lets say i have a business element that is a restaraunt and that restauraunt obviously has a menu.. should i include the menu as a child element of the business or should i create a seperate xml file called menus. Also if I do create a menus.xml file that contains the menus seperatley how will i be able to tell which menu belongs to which restaraunt..* things to consider my businesses.xml file may eventually contain many businesses with many menus.... hopefully someone can help cheers
