Hi Bob. I like your file suggestion. It was one I was considering but hadn't figured out the multiple user problem which you so neatly solve. I am, however, doing it by creating a cursor in code. I just have this thing about having to do in code what could so nicely be handled by a parameterized view if only it worked as semi-advertized.

Thanks for your input. It helped confirm my own thinking.
