Hi, I think you got at least two options that are better, a) are the type and extra fields all in use? 2. Why not make a topic for reach departmen and run mgd_list_articles_all to get the subtopics? 3. BTW It should not be to much work to sort the existing arts into subtopics. 4. I you already have plaved the departments in subtopics, then you can do mgd_list_art_all(topic1) topic1 |-dep1 |-dep2 |-dep3 etc and then use the topic id in each art to do the rest. 5. You could also use parameters nadmin has very nice support for em.
