Of course.... I'd forgotten that. It's been too long since I used a QL in anger -- even though I have one set up right here in the office :-/ So... My estimate of 3.5million MDVs is, in fact, wrong; it should be nearly 7million MDVs. Wow. Of course, formatting will remove a lot of that; if one assumes 50%, my original figure comes out conveniently accurate, for some inexplicable reason :) Cheers, Ade.
