Hi Mans
The variations of gender could be looked up in two data tables 'male' and
'female', in such a way that:
male##gender1 --> him
female##gender1 --> her
male##gender2 --> Him
female##gender2 --> Her
...
and so on
Then the only variable that needs to be set for each person is male/female
-- all variations of gender are text-reference lookups using either 'male'
or 'female' (the titles of the two data tables) as the only variable
regards
