A prop_values view is the cleanest solution. Any chance you can upgrade to Postgres? :) Failing that, you could probably make a new relationship type for this "pull values from many different tables depending on a column value in another table" relationship, but I'm not sure how general-purpose it'd be. And in the end, your custom relationship would be running exactly the same database queries that you'll run if you do it "manually" using Manager queries and/or multiple standard relationships under the covers. If you want the load(with => ...) magic to work too, just override load(), rummage through the with => ... arguments, and do whatever you need to to before passing control on to the base class load(). -John ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
