>Bingo! I was thinking way too hard about running one off of the other it didn't even occur to me how clean it would be to have the first one non-updatable and the second one doing the updates - exactly where you would want it to be! That fits perfectly into what I'm trying to do... Thanks! Renoir

Mark, Just wanted to say that I implemented this and it works great; very fast and clean. I was able to eliminate extraneous views and only update what needed to be updated. Thanks again... Renoir
