Jeff, I don't get it. Why would you want to create one static toc that you would have to maintain when with the database engine, each user can create and structure and maintain their own, designed and tuned to fit their particular needs? Are you trying to save some resource? Or provide some special service? Or what? Thanks. Dave Dave Gomberg, role model for those who don't ask much in their fantasy lives.
