Thanks Alex, I Believe this is what I was looking for:
>(class +Master +Entity) >(rel children (+List +Bag) > ((+Key +String)) # description > ((+Number)) ) # rank I'll see how I go with it. As to number of details I'm expecting it to sit at less then 5 almost all the time, with no detail records being the most common case. regards Konrad -- read my mind at: http://the-willows.blogspot.com/ -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
