You know, if you just abbreviate it, "DVT", it kinda' has a ring to it, as well as an implied air of significance.
Of course, you guys having mentioned "aging" could lead to DVT incorrectly expanded to "Deep Vein Thrombosis". So, how 'bout something like "R:ombosis", or other variants, and how would it/they be defined?

My solution was to create a view against the table UNIONed to a dummy view using the Downall View Typecasting technique. That way, I simply told the user to BROWSE against the view (AlertsInfo) instead of the table (Alerts) and that everything would be exactly the same as before. -- Larry
