Jane That does seem to work. I need to play around with a copy of it so I can to tweak the columns that are displayed (ie to show their RecordID, their father's name etc). I've had a quick go but so far I'm not using the right syntax. I've done some coding myself so I need to study this code and other plugin examples to find the right words / functions to use.

This lines defines the column tblResults.recordid1 = {title='Record Id', width=60} To get the record ID you can use the fhGetRecordId and add a line to add the value in eg tblResults.recordid1:set(fhGetRecordId(pi)) For the Father the easiest way is to use fhGetItemPtr tblResults.father1:set(fhGetItemPtr(pi,'~.~FATH>')) ( I have added the column to my copy so if you grab it again you can see what I added. -- Jane.
