I looped this: SELECT * WHERE PARENT_ID IN (#keyList#)
appending the keys returned to a list, and kept going till recordcount = 0 That goes from parent to all children, grandchildcren, all the way down. Going up is the opposite. I can chunk you the code if you want. Matthew P.

Anyone have any good references on recursive queries to handle this? A way to spider down through the parents and children basically. Ive done this before using Stored Procs and temp tables, but there has to be an easier way. Any suggestions? -chris.alvarado [ application developer ] 4 Guys Interactive, Inc. http://www.4guys.com -- I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
