Hi Ken

Yes, I thought about this idea and I may have to implement it. At times I get tired of thinking up work arounds for software that works but not quite. So I thought I would investigate to see if I can find a good alternate tool.

I am now looking at Sheridan ActiveTreeVew and ProtoView.

Thanks
Simon

>PMFJI - but one solution is to create another level heirarchy above your current parent node. For example - I once I had a tree-view that showd vendors, then open PO's under them. I soon had way too many vendors - so I created a node above it and grouped them alphabetically by name like "A vendors" , "B Vendors", "C Vendors" etc. This worked very well.
