>Morning Ed. From what I recall a linked list is a structure much like a database record. Can you give an example of what you mean and why a record in a table wouldn't be appropriate for this?

A linked list is a struture that contains pointers to other structures like itsself, so that there is a sequence of travel for the structure - trees and directed graphs are two classical examples of generic classes of things that are best represented with linked lists. Imagine the headaches of traversing and redirecting the traversal of a data table where each record had fields that pointed to several other records in the same table, or might point to nothing.
