Thanks Ryan! I will go back and reread that section of the docs. I
mainly wanted some assurance that this was do able by modifying MV
rather that redesigning the databases. They are supplied by another
department that manages the inventory system using FoxPro and I would
have to make the alterations. That is not a chore I want to tackle.
