I have avoided doing this so far. I just do not know what multi-leg data filtering = a nonlinear hierarchical filtering, cousin logic means ;) I am keen to understand though. I do not mind this particular permathread coming up every once in a while ... its useful to revisit assumptions; for example, I sometimes feel like I have taken a big step backwards on my decision some years ago to use a XML database instead of RDBMS as my primary datasource for my apps. Most my apps consume and work with xml ... so it makes sense, its just the 'simple' stuff that sometimes is unduly complicated. cheers, Jim Fuller
