Alex, Thank you for your help. I am in fact using an old cut. By "crazy", I meant "really amazing and cool". I was not sure the cmp engine could handle a potentially ambiguous case. I was quite happily surprised, and likewise quite happy with the performance improvement in directly accessing the fk.
