Janet, I just noticed that you had pasted the original query to the bottom of the message. I was going to send you email as well as posting to Fianna when I found the message. I have answered it deleting all references to the "interesting" query etc. After all Fianna is to help people, and this is a good question. I am just not sure I have given the answer. Anyway I am answering the query and I will send you a copy. Gail Possum Hill Farm
