I suppose there is also the problem of recursion. Kinda like Java had where every string is an object, and every object has a name, which is a string, which is an object, which has a name, which is a string, which is an object... ad-infinitum so that they had put in a mechanism for not recursing objects for strings of object-names. If the journal file to a DB is a DB, which has a journal, which is a DB, which has a journal... etc. etc. Q: What does the "B" in "Benoit B. Mandelbrot" stand for? A: "Benoit B. Mandelbrot". :) Ryan
