it _is_ in the same database as products, but that is not the same 
database that everything else is in (if that's any help.) i added in the 
line anyway and it made no difference. i realise it should work, which 
is what's upsetting me. perhaps you could suggest an alternative means 
of doing what i want? i'm something of a newbie to interchange and still 
haven't found out all it's features.
