This is probably just a matter of preference, but I don't like to overload null values with extra meanings. I would either use bits to track this or even a separate table depending on how much information about the process I wanted to track the workflow. Anyway, I see the point. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. Ben Rogers http://www.c4.net v.508.240.0051 f.508.240.0057 ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
