And how do you feed this into an array ? And in general - how do I know whether a property is _designed_ to carry exactly only _one_ value or whether it may return _muliple_ values (that's a larger (and "open") question and right now we can't properly design a data model (which is needed to define a working solution) without knowing this information). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
