Thanks Mike.

I'll need to spend some more undistracted time figuring this out....

Sorry for the delay in responding.  I appreciate your help.

If your tree is arbitrarily deep (which is sounds like it is), there is no magic bullet for this -- it's going to suck. I've written a couple posts on this before:

Somewhere there's a third one, but I can't find it.

I hope someone has thoughts on performing a search through a hierarchical data model.

I have a WO application that receives, stores and retrieves student study information. More here:
http://www.dyned.com/products/internetrm.shtml

In my model I have a group entity which have sub-groups via one-to- many relationship back to itself. These groups then have classes with students. There is a class entity with many-to-many relationships to the student entity. A student can be in more then one class.

There is a search I need to implement that returns matching groups, classes and students within a givem parent group. I can reach all the objects through relationships so starting with a parent group I can walk through all the sub-groups, classes and students arrays. This is time consuming.

I'm trying to think of a fetch specification that avoids some of the recursive looping I do now.

Any thoughts? Many thanks in advanced.
