The reason was that obviously the density is not a property of the element but of a compound. Thing about graphite, buckyball, diamond. Now the question is: What shall do with the data. Here are the solutions I see: a) Remove the dataset and the commented code in the script b) Adding ALL "pure element" compounds (several Sulphurs, three Carbons and so on) (or at least more than just one). We can store the information in Jeromes database for example. (or in the crystal file?) c) Let the data in the XML as it was before we commented the code and adding an additioanl information. For example we could add in an attribute "Carbon" or "Graphite". d) ... please fill out ... I would favour c) for one (important for me) reason: I need that information in Kalzium. Having the extrainformation would be very nice indeed because it makes it more obvious that the density is NOT a property of the element. Also, most periodic tables are shipping with this property, for example look here: http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/C/phys.html I would like to hear your opinions. Carsten
