Ok, now I understand... That should work.
About the suggestion, I have no single key for table and field tuple... The
database table is not normalized and the only way I found so far is to use
a composed pk formed with table and field to refer to unique field entry.
If I had not identical field name in differents tables I could avoid that.
Anyway, until now it has work well, I may need to better engineer this part
of my database in the future thought.
Thanks
Richard
