I guess you would need to assume the modifier would be the way that UML represented it...which if we could retrieve it from the UML meta model then it would be (but that currently isn't the case). -- Wouter ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
