Hey All,
I got moved onto another project and I hadn't been able to get back to this
one until today. I first wanted to thank you all for the information and
suggestions. I'll take a look and see what I can do and I'll be sure to
let everybody know what the outcome is.
I like Nan's suggestion about a custom fact but I'm not quite there in my
knowledge yet so I suspect I'll use some mix of a relation and a simple
"if" statement.
Cheers,
Mike
