Thank you Cetin. Thats an excellent article you wrote. I will be using a lot as this is my first crack at the Treeview control.

>>Thanks for your reply. I realized the way I am doing this will not work and in the long run give more troubles. Do you know of a good way I could 'relate' the treeview to a table? For example, if I click on a leaf or node how can I determine which record in my table this corresponds to. I was using the node.index before but I don't think this will work.
