Okay, I added the "NODEFAULT" and it seemed to work to an extent, i.e. it added the correct parent_id number, but it also added an incorrect otherparent_id! But this is progress. I didn't quite understand what you meant when you said "and then going to the record." Please explain further. TIA --lincoln
