>Thank you. i like that as I intend to make this a mod in my VFE framework and that might be the cleanest solution. And it definitely addresses the issue of getting it all inside an implicit transaction which is what I think I prefer for message passing in the event of a rollback on the backend.
I'll give that a try and report back.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
