Could the organization field, instead of being a string, actually be a link (or a search-string) to a separate record? Then when you display an individual record that links to that organization, there could be a display-only, virtual "work address" shown for that individual. Gets you partway there, anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
