Al, thanks for posting this. I have one caution. Having created an "all post offices" context, a user might yhink thay s/he could create an "important letter" task with just that one context and receive a proximity alarm whrn approaching any of the post offices included in that context. That would not work, as in your example, you have to tag the task with the context for each specific post office. The reason for this is that inheritance is implemented for included contexts in views but not in proximity alarms. -Dwight MLO Betazoid on Android SGN4
