I think it would answer a lot of things that have been asked for in a fairly simple way. That is, I think it would be simple. Maybe it wouldn't be simple to program. It would be even better than a purge function, which usually only gets rid of stuff older than a certain date. Your idea would go both ways. -- Barbara Needham
