Brien,

I would actually advocate that you not take this approach. Constantly
mucking with User data can be a sore spot for performance and can also
increase your risk of finding bugs in the internal ( and proprietary )
code for license management.  Or even finding less known rules about
how many times a user can be assigned a Fixed license in a short
period of time. Yea, I know you said "anyone that I add to this group
also needs a floating", but solutions like this (AR System
applications) tend to be extended over time. You may later find that
such an assumption may not hold true for the next version/feature
request. However, a more general design will likely scale farther and
I think actually be easier to implement too.


I would strongly suggest that you adopt the "other thought" from the
start of this thread.

"
I am strongly considering just abandoning the Field 112 anyway, and
using an entire form just for storing the UserID to Parent.  Then at
least I can just loop over that form and forget about the field
splitting...
"

If you manage these changes in a custom application then you can
better detect triggering conditions and you can choose (as each
trigger happens) if each change is important enough to do "now" vs
"later" too. You could let managers add/remove users from ARS Groups
and later propagate the change into the User's 'Group List'.

HTH.
